    I’m so glad that my state uses the mail-in ballot system. We used to require a caucus, which means you go argue with strangers for 6 hours in a crowded elementary school cafeteria, but now it takes me around 10-30 minutes to fill in my ballot from the comfort of my home, and 1 minute to drop it in the mailbox.

        We caucused for the primaries, but now those are just mail-in ballots, everything is, including the presidential election.

          I did the whole yelling in a high school thing back in 2016 for Bernie Sanders. That shit was wild! I’m glad we’re done with that.

            I did too. I’m glad to have been able to experience it, but I’m also glad that I don’t have to do it again. One of the benefits though is that you can possibly sway other voters and help your chosen candidate.

      misread caucus as “cactus” and was momentarily excited at the possibilities but then was brought back to reality.

      More states should use cactuses.
