Idk, when you look at the entire picture, does Trump not have the far easier path to 270 this year? He only has to win 2 states (PA & GA) and that’s it, he wins. Kamala has to win at the minimum 3, and if she loses PA, it becomes even harder for her. Trump could just spend all of his money campaigning in those 2 states and get back in the White House. Yet these odds seem to disagree with me.
Am I trippin?
It’s such a strange concept that it isn’t a national holiday to enable everyone to vote.
It’s not strange; they don’t want the poorest and lower class people to be able to vote.
But then Black people might vote. America still hasn’t forgiven Black people for existing.
Or at least a legal requirement for employers to allow time off during employees shifts to vote.
Federal law doesn’t require employers to give employees any time off to vote, much less paid time off. Instead, the laws vary from state to state: Just 29 states and the District of Columbia currently require employers to give employees time off to vote in general elections.
I know it doesn’t.
I’m saying it should.
Sadly, it’s not strange at all. We’re a capitalist country. This is what our votes support every two years.
Originally only land owners could vote. The forefathers had little faith in the uneducated masses. After seeing people’s posts online for the last couple of decades, I’m not sure they were wrong.
It’s interesting to see this reply from someone calling themselves ‘Anticorp’.
What did I reply? I don’t remember. Whatever it was, I obviously rethought it since I deleted it right away. Somehow you still saw it.
You said something like: “The founding fathers only intended for educated landowners to vote, and the more you see from the Internet, the more you think they were right.”
(Something like that.)
Ah yeah, I said “I’m not sure they were wrong to not trust the uneducated masses”. But then I thought about it more and didn’t like that message, so I deleted it.
Good call.
If the goal was to have everyone vote, it wouldn’t be Tuesday and everyone would automatically be registered with mail-in being an option.
Or at least on a weekend.
In France it’s always on a Sunday, because guess what: most people don’t work on Sunday
Also if you do work on Sunday your boss is legally bound to allow you to go vote because of course we do, it’s a democracy ffs
