Presidential election should be a holiday. And move it to a Monday. Not sure why it’s so difficult. I’m sure there’s some deep seeded evil explanation.
I think it should actually be moved to Wednesday if made a holiday. It should be pushed as far as possible from being an opportunity for a long weekend where people choose leisure over civic participation.
If I could just somehow get permission to amend the constitution for one day, I’d fucking shove democracy down people’s throats so hard, totally against their will.
As much as that seems like a good solution, it’s unlikely to win many supporters. You’d be better off making voting day a federal holiday.
Do both.

Bone Apple tea! Its deep seated, haha.
You’re right, but I do think deep seeded could carry the same meaning.
Damnit!
Federal holidays do not guarantee a day off of work. There are, however, state-level laws in some states that do guarantee time off to vote.
Good point; I was unaware of the state-level laws. Regardless, I will stand by my statement: it’s better than what we’ve currently got.
