      Unfortunately, the US is so big that I don’t think single day voting would ever work. The entire population of Ireland is smaller than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania alone. Plus, we have our military flung far and wide across the globe and they should have a vote in the which dipshit politicians fling them around the next round.

      OK, but I’m in Ireland for over a decade, would you prefer I didn’t get to vote (for the democratic candidate in a swing state)?

          well… just to say, I’d never vote for austerity, or to cut education. cutting education in the US is partially what got us into this mess

              I hear you. For me I don’t mind, and I’m happy to be able to vote even though I don’t live there. Way more left leaning people live out of the US than do right leaning people. They often don’t leave their hometowns, cause, you know, cities are scary
