    All we want is voter ID, you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID, you go to a gas station, you give ID, but for voting, they want no voter ID.

    A) I don’t need an ID for gas or groceries; B) Buying gas and groceries aren’t Constitutional Rights.

        I’d be with you for food, but I would say the fundamental human right to transportation doesn’t extend beyond feet.

          Great solution for a small part of the US population. The country is designed around car transport, it’s a dead end forced on us long ago. Few cities have (and can have) adequate mass transit that serves even a fraction of the area. I’m anti-car too, but also realize that it’s how things work for most people. So yes, fuel or transportation infrastructure is a right as long as people have to get around to survive.
