If we make election day a holiday then how will postal workers deliver all those bogus ballots?

Democrats will never give up Juneteenth for two reasons. One, it’s a payoff to their union lackeys, since they’re the primary beneficiaries of another holiday. Two, it serves as a special day to keep African Americans aggrieved and reminded of the days of slavery. The vast majority of working African Americans don’t get the day off.
