So here’s a proposal for the common good, supported by the very non Democrat @DouthatNYT: an Election Day holiday. Do you support that?
A paid holiday has both benefits & costs. Not saying I could never accept it as part of a deal, but the benefits seem rather slim.

If it makes it easier for non professional employees (and, for that matter, vs students or retirees too) to vote, why would that not be bothi desirable but also an obvious affirmation of democracy. We really can’t afford to make Election Day a holiday? What is the downside?

That was a bit awkward—I meant to write that working class people have the least flexibility, the most challenges to voting conveniently compared to professionals/retirees/students. In a one person/one vote democracy, why can’t we even those odds a bit?
