What's this?

I have, and I will continue to argue against efforts to disenfranchise

voters. My post specifically mentioned Trump's rhetoric undermining faith in the ballot box. Your list should include gerrymandering.

As for Manafort, your argument should be with Mueller who found no conspiracy with the fullest picture of the facts surrounding the campaign.

I'm sorry you're tired of my point of view, but I'm just calling it like I see it.
