Two quick comments about today's Shots. First, it would be nice if Democrats recognized that Hispanic is not a race but an ethnicity and that a majority of Hispanics likely identify as being White. (Bonus if they recognized how religious most Black and Hispanics are, compared to their Woke White brethren). Second, NYC allowing noncitizens to vote is not only politically tone deaf but also amusing since the current NYC Board of Elections is a certified sh!tshow. If you cannot run good elections for your current voting population, complicating it by adding a whole new class of voters--who can only vote in some elections--is a recipe for disaster.
NYC allowing non-citizens to vote is only tone deaf if you have no understanding of nuance or the actual details--which, of course, is the vast majority of the US electorate. I have been in situations where I paid taxes to a locale merely because I happened to work there (but did not live there)--so isn't that taxation w/o representation? DIdn't we fight a revolution over that? I have vague memories of that from school.
