    y’all don’t even make voting day a day off, literally everything America does it to stop people voting, not a democracy at all

        Not where I live. It depends on the area - but Republicans everywhere are trying to make it harder to vote.

      In my area, they give out stickers at polling places, so maybe they think that makes up for it not being considered a holiday…?

      That’s not true. Several states, including the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon and California all allow voting by mail. In Oregon, where I live, I get two weeks to fill out my ballot from the comfort of my own home while researching on the internet and watching YouTube videos telling me who to vote for.

      Then I have too many beers at night and end up filling out Donald Trump every single time. God damn it. I wrote him in as my county water commissioner, and he never showed up! What a douchebag.

        I’m in Florida and even we have several weeks of early voting where you can find time to cast your vote. It’s still weekdays but it’s a lot better than a single day.
