night voting, etc. Plenty of GOPers vote by mail, during extended voting, etc.

that the weakness of democracy was that poor people would sooner or later vote themselves so many benefits that it would bankrupt the country.
My family told me that this was a lie.
Now I realize that the class who will vote themselves so much that it sucks the country dry, like a parasitic insect consuming its host and leaving a dry husk, is the rich.
