    Didn't he fail to "provide good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed?"

    You keeping think that DEMOCRATS need to appeal to voters.

    All they need are millions of blank ballots, people to fill them out, and people to count them.

    You mean, all they need are voters? How else are you supposed to win an election?

    Reading issues? All that's needed to "win" is millions of blank ballots, people to fill them out, and people to count them.

    It's funny, I have yet to find a single person anywhere who lost their insurance and/or doctor thanks to the ACA.

    I have found several people who lied about it, though.

    Right, voters. The people you are describing are voters.

    People filling out multiple blank ballots are considered "voters" in New America, I suppose. Who's going to to check things like signatures or postmarks, after all?

    Fun fact: Throughout recorded history, more Europeans and Asians have been enslaved than Africans.

    Before, you said people filling out blank ballots, and then you adjusted that to people filling our multiple blank ballots.

    I'm sure you have evidence of this. Oh you don't? Ah.
