It’s in the Opinion section - which is specifically not part of the news organization.

I don’t think consumers demand this - the Trump campaign operators do

This is a popular wish from MAGA types who have been told that mail and early voting is fraudulent, which isn’t supported by evidence.

If you can vote early or by mail, there is no need for a holiday on the one voting day.

At the same time, we can’t expect every grocery store worker, police officer, air traffic controller, and truck driver, and everyone else, to be off simultaneously on the same day.

and even to allow homeowners to take unlimited federal deductions for the property taxes they pay to state and local governments.

You could do that before Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts And Jobs Act. They capped it to punish citydwellers, which are majority Democrat.

Cable television never advertised that. Cable TV started as a “community antenna” system that served people in valleys with existing off-the-air broadcast channels (which had ads); the existence of those systems created a market for satellite-fed channels like HBO (which was always a separate subscription and ad-free) and TBS/CNN (which always carried ads). Other than the premium channels like HBO/Showtime/Cinemax, cable channels have had ads from the beginning.

Once the small cable systems and the media publishers both got consolidated, we started seeing content licensing deals and higher costs to the subscriber to pay for it - but the channels (MTV, Nickelodeon, etc) always carried ads.

What are you going on about? When have Democrat supporters ever violently responded to an election outcome?

Where do you come up with this stuff? You really put a lot of assumed beliefs/motivations on large groups of people. It’s like you’re deep in echo-chamber talking points designed to divide subgroups, but have never actually talked to “Democrats” or “liberals”.

Hint: outside of fringe communities discussing socialist philosophy, in the US “left”, “liberal”, and “Democrat” are nearly synonymous to most of the public.

They are kind of like two hands making a handshake - they just twist/slide into each other and each is then looped around the back of the other. Very simple and effective
