Is it time to make Election Day a federal holiday? 🗳️ Some say it would boost voter turnout and align the U.S. with other democracies, while others argue it could create challenges for hourly workers and cost millions. Dive into the debate over whether a federal voting holiday is the best way to strengthen democracy or if there are better solutions. Check out the full breakdown!
Let’s just swap from Thanksgiving (a holiday about racism and genocide) to Election Day. So there’s no net cost. Just swapping from one day to another.
I don’t really think of Thanksgiving in its original context at this point. I think of it as a day for family and togetherness. I wish we could just rebrand it as that and drop all of the fake, sappy stories about pilgrims and native americans getting along.
I was thinking either Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day, since they seemed kinda redundant. Alternatively, President’s Day being moved to the election day seems like it would make sense.
Thanksgiving is practically a religious holiday at this point. Can’t deprive Americans of their celebration of gluttony and genocide. There’s a parade and everything.
