IT'S A FUCKING START. For gods' sakes, what do you have against at least TRYING?

I have a problem with wasted, futile, STUPID efforts that are more about feeling good than helping people. Our side is allegedly the smart, fact-based side; we ought to act like it. We shouldn't pat ourselves on our fucking backs just because we like to pretend we're making a difference with symbolic but otherwise pointless gestures.

Anyone who actually gives a shit about issues of voter access is going to focus on the actual problems and how to actually solve them. That's where I am. I look at people who don't have time to vote, and realize that mail-in ballots would help them more than a make-believe play holiday. I look at those long lines in Florida or wherever minorities stand in line all day to vote ... how would a federal holiday help them? Mail-in ballots would solve their problem too.
