If your government cared about your vote, Election Day would be a national holiday with mandatory time off.

precisely. its a civic duty like jury duty. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Instead, you have to waste your weekend on early voting OR take a few hours off on election day (and lose money)🤡👍🏾

Great way to keep the most productive and low income people (of *every* color and ancestry) disenfranchised

Exactly. It’s either waste a lot of time and money to vote OR potentially lose your job and get into more debt to vote. Voting is clearly the obvious choice here 🤡

That’s the whole point. Make it a pain in the ass for working people and they’ll only bother if they are motivated enough or can afford to take time off.

They hold elections here on Sunday.

Our employers here have to grant time off to vote.
