If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?
Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.
To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I’d pick the one that helps the most folks.
That was way more explosive than I expected.
