Okay Barium pointed out that tomorrow there will be more polling spots open than just the courthouse so the lines might not be as long but Brian-Kun's been in line for half an hour and he's only halfway through :0
son of a gun this is gonna be rough T-T
this does not daunt me if I'm gonna be late to work tomorrow so be it
there's too many important issues on the ballot, it's not just the presidential election, we've got a chance to raise the minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour by 2026
Also legally doesn't your job have to give you time to go vote?
And a chance to mandate paid sick days for all workers
and a chance to make abortion in my state legal
uh I was not aware of such a thing
oh you're right :0 up to three hours
I don't work until one PM so if I get up early enough I should be okay
Yeah the law in certain states (yours being one of them) requires employers to give you paid time off so you can vote. I think in your state you get up to three hours pto, and your boss can ask for proof of voting
Oh, oops, you already found that out lol
yeah :0 dang I could get paid to go vote
the work is it's own reward and I ask nothing more than the rights of my fellow workers and also for Donald J Trump to get a total of three states that actually want him around so that he can't say the election was rigged but instead very clearly lost in a landslide
I unfortunately live in one of the states where people want him ;-;
I'm honestly so ready fir the election to be done so that if we need to be scared, we can be scared of an actuality opposed to a theoretical
not all the people, I promise, even some Republicans are voting for Harris this year
all three times someone's sh.t at him it's turned out to be a Republican who feels he betrayed the party
I don't wanna make any bold or blatant prophecies but I'm not very worried abt the result of the election
even my f@m!ly doesn't want Trump in office
and that's saying smth
bc both my p@r3nts helped vote him in in 2016
y a l l Brian-Kun just told us the polling office had fake ballots for kids and my niece voted for Cat For President T-T her mushroom voted for Certified Write-in by the name of Monkey T-T that's so adorable
:0 core memory unlocked, I remember filling out several of those fake ballots as a kid, and then getting an "I voted" sticker
that's amazing :0 I never got a fake ballot as a kid
I wonder if that's a Midwest thing
awwwwww those fake ballots sound adorable
Your niece never fails to be the most adorable little kid either !!
ikr T-T she's the best
when she came home I asked her who she voted for and she said Callie
that's Brian-Kun's cat
she wasn't voting for Just Any Cat, she had a specific one in mind
