Christopher Columbus does not deserve a federal holiday.
He didn't discover America. His genocide killed hundreds of thousands of Native Americans. He laid the foundation for the global slave trade. And he was an inept governor.
Celebrating this man is farcical.
I propose that we end Columbus Day and make Election Day a federal holiday instead. The old switcheroo, if you will.
Imagine if we made it easier to vote instead of half-heartedly honoring an unworthy tyrant...
