for the first time i realized i cant really [politely] ask people at work about voting. in previous jobs/election cycles its a no brainer… running around the office ‘where’s your sticker? did ya vote?’. regardless of affiliation, people should vote…
but theres a palpable embarrassment this year. no one speaks of politics here anymore. i sure as fuck am not going to burst that echo-bubble by askin if they voted.
i just cant really do that in my current location. very strange.
I believe that’s by design for voter suppression. Making community and communication with others near impossible for voting makes it harder for people to discuss and talk about who’s the best and understanding it.
The stupider people are the more easier they are controlled and by having people not talk to each other the less they will learn.
