for the first time i realized i cant really [politely] ask people at work about voting. in previous jobs/election cycles its a no brainer.. running around the office 'where's your sticker? did ya vote?'. regardless of affiliation, people should vote..

but theres a palpable embarrassment this year. no one speaks of politics here anymore. i sure as fuck am not going to burst that echo-bubble by askin if they voted.

i just cant really do that in my current location. very strange.
