You're being melodramatic. There are piles of news sources to choose from, absent NYT. And that assumes it falls over due to the strike, although it seems likely they need workers on hand to do ops.
- conartist6 2y agoI am being a bit melodramatic, yes. My working assumption is that the services they offer are critical enough that management will somehow make sure they stand up, because it is their obligation to me as their customer to do so. But with there being such a strong probability that there will be coordinated far-right attempts to undermine faith in our system of elections tomorrow, I do really do think of tomorrow as a kind of holy day for democracy that is not acceptable to use as bargaining chip.

Nothing about an election where only the votes of people in 7 states out of 50 matter can possibly be "holy" for democracy. I don't need the far-right to undermine faith in our system of elections; I'm not far-right and have never had any faith in it to begin with.
