[–] iglou@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) Not voting when the stakes are this high is as shitty as voting for Trump. Plus approval statistics don't care if you voted or not. If anything, more than half of Americans suck at this point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) It's also worth noting that many americans are prevented from voting. Cannot get time off work, polling station too far, mail in not available, purged from voter roll. It's still crazy to me that voting day is not a public holiday in the US and that all public transport is not free on that day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iglou@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago* In France voting day is always a Sunday to prevent issues like this. It seems very anti-democratic to not make sure that almost all the voting population can find the time for it. permalink fedilink source parent
