2004 was only as high as it was because it was Bush after 9/11.
But seriously though, trying to pass off Al Gore as a “young” candidate at 52 is hilarious, that man came out of the womb with bifocals complaining about “kids these days”.
The sheer audacity of claiming 52 is young just highlights how normalized this has become. A 52 year old running for their first term should already be considered too old.
All making it a holiday would accomplish is giving bankers the day off while most of everyone else who works for a living would still have work. On a day the buses aren’t running because it’s a holiday.
But now we have a holiday, so there’s no need for early voting.
You could have at least read the part you quoted chief…
That doesn’t guarantee having the day off. Many people will still go to work on a holiday, however they will be compensated with higher pay or be allowed to use the holiday off in the future.
So 1/4 dont get holidays, and of the 75% who do, “many” still work.
You’re also ignoring that the 75% include everyone that gets a single day off. And acting like they’d also get this new holiday off.
That’s what I hate about the:
Like, I’d rather have both my legs cut off than my head, most people would.
But people ain’t going to stand in like 5 hours after work to pick. Because for a lot of us, having both legs cut off is just a slower death
Because America doesn’t have basic social systems to care for us, and we’d get bankrupted by the medical bills
That’s the choice:
Meanwhile neoliberals don’t understand why 1/3 of voters don’t vote
45% of voters didn’t vote when it was a 54 year old vs a 52 year old in 2000 Bush v Gore. It’s not the age thing.
The nepotism baby of HW, and one of the least charismatic people to run for president…
Wonder why turnout was low…
Meanwhile look at 92 and 08 when two of our youngest presidents ever, and they blow out everyone around them.

High voter turnout in 08? But McCain was 72! Guess it’s not the age thing.
I don’t know if it would be worse if you were being sincere or trying to troll…
But neither is a good look, have fun whatever you’re doing I guess

I’d prefer universal mail ballot like Colorado and Washington have.
Lol, this guy thinks the majority of workers get holidays off…
The solution is making it a week. Give people a full ass week to vote, count em up at the end of the week.
