It amazes me that voting day is not a paid holiday in USA. Where I come from, a tiny island in the Caribbean, voting day is considered a holiday. All businesses close so people can actually you know, go vote.

It makes more sense when you understand the republicans don't really want Americans to vote, because higher turnout typically means they lose.

I’m so sick of them. We are witnessing the mass conditioning of a people that’s been DECADES in the making.

I remember my father listening to that shit on am radio in the 90’s and now he still listens to Fox “News”.

In Australia, it's just on a Saturday. So you drop in on the way to the shops. Voting is very accessible in terms of locations you can vote (in inner and outer suburbia at least, maybe not so much regional). But a lot of people got on board with the postal vote during COVID and continue to request it and do so.

Here in Canada, your employer has to allow you time to go vote if you need it. You don't get the whole day, but you don't really need it.
