So says a bunch of people who clearly have enough job flexibility to post on a message board all day. You'd be shocked to find that not everyone's life looks like yours.

Let’s ignore the weekends.
Let’s ignore the hours each day that more than likely doesn’t one for one overlap with their work hours.
I get it. The left makes endless excuses for minorities because they can’t do anything on their own. It’s cool. Own it.
And yes, I’m damn proud of how hard I worked to go from a single parent immigrant home who drove a black car 16 hours a day. That’s why happens when you work hard and go to school for a real skill.

You're right. I'm sure all of these people are just lazy and making up lies for why they don't vote. The system itself is flawless except for some overly generous voting hours and voting options, which we should clamp down on to make it harder for the lazies. Congratulations on all of your hard-earned success.

I didn't mow the lawn a couple of weeks ago. When asked why, I blamed it on work and parenting stuff. If I had really wanted to, I could have mowed the lawn.
It's really easy to casually ask someone if they voted, get a no, ask why not, and get "I couldn't get time off of work" as an answer. I don't think there are really that many people working consecutive 80+ hour work weeks. Incidentally, I used to frequently work 100+ hour work weeks. I still got time off to vote, because it's required by law.

I think it's great turnout was so strong this past election, and wish my GOP friends did not look at this as a source for alarm. We should be looking for ways to build upon the great turnout of 2020 not roll it back.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
A few reminders of the unfortunate GOP phobia regarding high turnouts:
1) In January, a Republican election official said that Georgia needed tougher laws to reduce turnout, “so we at least have a shot at winning.”
2) Asked to justify two Arizona voter restrictions before the Supreme Court in March, the lawyer for the state’s Republican Party responded, simply, that easing them “puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats.”
3) And of course very poorly chosen one himself: “They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."
I really don't concern myself too much about whether a baseball discussion board poster wants to depress turnout for "idiots" or "low information voters." It does concern me that one of the major parties thinks it is a good thing to do so.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
The one consolation (and it is not really a consolation) is that sometimes this venality is tempered by incompetence. Such as Florida requiring people to request a mail in ballot every two years rather than every four years, something that could well end up hurting Republicans.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Yeah I’m sure it will be devastating to turn out

Dark Money Group Brags About Writing GOP Voter Suppression Bills Across the Country

At least the founder of Heritage Foundation is willing to say the quiet part out loud.
“I don’t want everybody to vote,” he said. “Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

Democrats never redistrict to their advantage when they have power.

I’m shocked that an anti democracy guy would have that type of reply to the guy saying the quite part out loud
