Yes-100 day limit to US electoral campaigns. Yes-mandatory voting in US. Yes-election day = holiday. Thank you.

You got one thing wrong on your wishlist - instead of a national holiday for election day, we need universal vote by mail. 2+ weeks to vote, no lines, no poll intimidation, significantly more accessible, and a proven track record of success (see Oregon. We love UVBM). And if you want to drop off your ballot at the election office, you can! Now the day AFTER election day, that should be a holiday - at least for us sickos.

Big upvote for UVBM, as we also have in WA. In my life as a citizen, I've voted in CA, HI, and WA, and give me vote-by-mail anytime...especially when the state picks up the postage for ballot return...such a deal!

NYT (or Pitchbot):

"Why Shunning Josh Shapiro For Her VP Choice Could Spell Trouble for Harris In Pennsylvania"

Can't believe the Times would let this opportunity go by without some article with the above headline...it's what they do.

OT 75% of investors invest a set amount every month. So that 75% should be happy about the market dropping, because it means they buy low. I'm aggravated that these financial geniuses on tv and on websites never mention that fact. Maybe they aren't so smart?

Tim Walz is the best VP pick and miraculously the markets rebound.

In case you needed another reason to love Tim Walz, here he is with his rescue kitty, Honey, touting the virtue of getting a rescue pet. Also the kitty and his dog get along.

NYT all over Tim Walz's 30yr-old DUI, with the usual stuff about "bubbling up" in media reports...uh-huh.

Fucking scumbags. We need to abolish the Ivy League. Close them. They're not sending their finest.
