Why Am I Awake So Early? To Harp Again on Voter Registration

Actually, I woke up early to try to work on an essay I need to finish, but again I’m lazy and putting it off.

I believe that in order to get any change in our elected officials, we have to get rid of voter registration, or at least make it same-day voter registration. What kind of change is hard to say because you’ll get a whole lot of voters who haven’t been voting. When you take down this ridiculous barrier to voting, then it makes it easier to mobilize voters, to engage in mass politics. Mass politics is the only path towards taking down the current kleptocratic power structure.
