why are the American people not fighting for a vote reform, to make voting on Sunday, like in every reasonable country?

Voting on Tuesdays is just designed to keep normal working people from voting.

How can you all be fine with that?

What the fuck! Whichever day you vote, is a public holiday in my country. All institutions are obliged to do so.

We Can barely hang on to the shitty voting system we have. I can almost never make it to polls (and often work Sundays) but I used to receive automatic mail in ballots. Now I need to apply for ballots early before each election and many politicians are fighting to make it harder and harder to do mail in. Women's reproductive rights have back slid, internet freedoms have become restricted, vaccines are being required in schools and hospitals less not more. This guy is talking about progressive reforms and we are here just trying to dig fingernails into basic rights.

We vote by mail in my state. I love it. Me and The Wife sit down at the kitchen table and fill out our ballots together and then pop them into the mail and that's it. Granted, I live in a solidly blue state so my presidential vote basically doesn't matter anyway.

A lot of us aren't fine with it. One side benefits when less people vote. Our government is absolute shit at getting things done because half of politicians elected want to hinder all progress.
