I was excited to see this but this game is crazy partisan and does nothing but to further divide us.

It's not like voter suppression of vulnerable groups is a tactic that can work at the same time for both of your major parties. This "golden mean" line of reasoning is not worth much.

This basically glorifies being a white programmer in California. It's just going to push up rents as people give up on being a black salesman in Wisconsin or a latina nurse in Texas to move to California.

Man, why didn't they try being white before? It's so simple.

Is it factually accurate? Is it giving a full picture of voter suppression, or do you believe that Democrats engage in the practice and this fact is being omitted? IMO complaining about partisanship is just dodging a conversation on the merits, if in fact the objective truth is partisan.

Back when Republicans were the Party of Lincoln it would have been both factual and partisan of me to say they were the political party of abolition, and the Democrats were the party of plantation owners.
