President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Since a person wouldn't be able to look into the future and know the weather on voting day, should we extend in-person voting to a week? A federal week off?

It is tremendously easy to vote in America.

It is not tremendously easy to get people to vote.

 

Why not both?

 

Well, maybe because a LOT of government officials are working on election day.

A little tricky if that's a federal holiday. As I pointed out earlier, you already lose that day's mail being delivered --- which means shit coming in the next day but having to be counted because it has a timely postmark. The fewer votes having to be counted after midnight on election night, the better.

 

A LOT of federal officials are working on every holiday.

 

Heh. Not if I ever need them.

 

For ffs

 

Spoken like a white collar worker.

 

Remember, Alma isn’t a Republican. He just agrees with pretty much everything they think. But if he says he doesn’t like Trump, he thinks that’s at all believable.

 

He'd be happy to ship you to a camp, Nimrata.

 

We hear similar grumbling from veterans groups when Veterans Day ceremonies are sparsley attended. They say not having it as a Monday holiday would make a difference. Most likely, folks would take the Monday before an Election Day off too.

 

I'm in favor of all of the above. Voting is a civic duty to be encouraged and fostered.

 

Christ, straw man much?
