And Americans only have to pick one out of two opposing parties. How hard can it be?

The problem is two-fold. The majority of Americans are passively informed, and the majority of our news publications are compromised by wealthy owners.

Also, it’s two months, not three. Early voting ballots go out in the end of September.

Passively informed is an understatement, also we're supposed to be available to work at a moments call, with limited time off availability. Am I gonna just tell my boss I'm leaving early to go vote?

I mean.... Yes?!??... If it's normal for a boss to chew you out for voting, then they're being more transparent about voter suppression than I thought.
