    In some Canadian municipal elections, you can vote for school board trustees.

    Before I had kids, I was too lazy to educate myself on their platforms, so I wouldn’t cast a ballot. I’d rather leave it up to people who care to make the decision.

    Now that I have kids and school boards have turned into a culture war battleground, I am researching and voting.

    I didn’t vote for years because I was busy trying to keep my head above water and I just couldn’t wrap my head around politics. I had my own shit to deal with during that time.

      It’s one day, with most states allowing mail-in in advance. You have no excuse for not fulfilling your duty as a citizen to ensure least negative outcome of elections.

      I had my own shit to deal with

      So does every other fucking adult, and now we have even more shit to deal with, thanks for that

    My mom never registered to vote “because I don’t want to be picked for jury duty!” (stupid boomer face)
