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.
That’s a popular view, but it’s rarely grounded in reality. My mom told me today that she pays for the NYT and WaPo, and my immediate answer was “why the fuck would you throw money at those people?”
