      why are the American people not fighting for a vote reform, to make voting on Sunday, like in every reasonable country?

      Voting on Tuesdays is just designed to keep normal working people from voting.

      How can you all be fine with that?

        A lot of us aren’t fine with it. One side benefits when less people vote. Our government is absolute shit at getting things done because half of politicians elected want to hinder all progress.

        We vote by mail in my state. I love it. Me and The Wife sit down at the kitchen table and fill out our ballots together and then pop them into the mail and that’s it. Granted, I live in a solidly blue state so my presidential vote basically doesn’t matter anyway.

        So retail workers can’t vote because they work weekends? You’re gonna screw someone over regardless of what day you pick.

        In my state we have a minimum of two weeks of early voting including some weekend hours. I’d support some increases, but it’s actually not that hard to vote if you just try.

        They’re assuming (probably correctly) that a lot of people under 28 won’t vote, and that (probably less correctly) they’d vote Democrat if they did vote. So if Trump wins and they pass a random 28 year old on the street, they’re thinking there’s a good chance that person is partially responsible for Trump’s win.

          Ok that makes more sense thanks. 28 seemed very arbitrary but if the statistics say so…
