They would vote if we made election day a national holiday. |

But corporate America owns both sides and every single politician, and none of them care for the poor. So it isn't going to happen. Not unless we completely reconstruct our government and that is never going to happen either. The top percentages will get richer, the middle class continues to shrink, and poverty continues to increase. Allowing all the poor immigrants to keep coming? That only makes it worse. There sure aren't any rich immigrants coming here. And Canada is getting all the international student's going to college now. Not America anymore. |

I will push retirement back 4 more years and keep raking in a small fortune in the hottest economy I've ever experienced. |
Who is "they" I think it would only increase white turn-out. Most blue collar and hourly employment people still work on national holidays. If you don't have any time to vote from 6am to 8pm that day, get an absentee ballot. |
People in impoverished urban areas, as discussed just upthread from my post. Fine then. Let's increase turnout across the board. |
What makes me most nervous about Trump winning is that he will very firmly entrench Ds in Congress and most likely lead to Dem pres in 2024. Full democratic control makes me nervous, as does full republican. I hope that a Dem wins now (at least if it isn’t Sanders) and the Republicans keep one chamber, presumably the Senate. That will make it much less likely either party has complete control any time soon. |
Studies have shown liberals are more likely to isolate themselves from people who don't agree with them. Conservatives are able to live around those who are unlike them. You may want to reconsider your tolerance for those different from you. |
Liberals want everything the easy way. |
Are you at all familiar with historical stock market trends? |
I can tolerate actual Republicans. I can’t really be expected to tolerate cult members. |
Virtually every other democracy votes on a national holiday. But sure -- keep telling yourself this is just some liberal fantasy. |
No doubt. ![]() |
