This is the most important election of our lives. Not important enough to hire, like, one person to watch the boxes to make sure they aren’t set on fire though.

Below that is an image. It is a rainy evening. In the back ground police emergency tape sections off the area. In the foreground a person is wreathed in smoke as they reach for a pile of burning material that has been pulled from an open ballot drop box. The drop box has “Official Ballot Drop Box” written on that and below that a large “VOTE” decal next to an american flag. Standing behind the smoke clouded person are two first responders. One holds a camera.
Nobody is going to employ someone to stand next to every ballot drop box, that’s silly. This is extremely rare and also not worth trying to avoid.
Okay I’m yelling but I promise it’s to make fun of how libs discuss this as a critical existential event but take no actual actions to secure victory, not even largely passive actions like just protecting ballots and ballot access.

But THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIVES! DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE! WE HAVE TO STOP FASCISM!
