I expect the republicans and many democrats would be against it as they are against health care for all like they have - they only want stuff for themselves and the less voters who they perceive as not like their votes - they would block women and people of color from voting - just a discussion after seeing a movie where a woman was fighting for woman's right to vote

Obviously, that movie whitewashed a lot.

| 3. NO I am not saying it was easy back then - but looking at all those |
|
slick white men in their suits with their pink ties or the old white men saying BS - I don't see them as wanting any rights for anyone but themselves

| 2. Women got the right to vote from state-level activism |
|
Too bad today's liberals don't do state politics. They want a fast and easy federal fix, no matter how watered down it is.

| 4. Getting voted down - I guess the white men don't want you to realize nothing has changed |
