i see european accounts saying the vote in the USA is now corrupted
europeans also like to tell americans to vote third party
third party in an FPTP voting system divides the left and hands MAGA a win
and the vote is controlled by the states. maybe some red states will corrupt the vote but they are already red states
europeans are entitled to speak on american politics
but europeans really need to educate themselves before they say something which only harms their own concerns

#Cynicism leads to #prematureCapitulation: "if the #vote is corrupt, why vote"
Americans are lazy about voting as it is. Weak whiny "the sky is falling!" statements just because malicious intent exists is enough to make some give up
Besides, elections are controlled by the states

just trump as usual pushing as far as he can to see how much he can get. it's unfortunately worked for him so far. but some of it is too far as we've seen on a number of his malicious bullshit efforts, fortunately

@benroyce
... the doomsayers make me want to scream.They
are going to make voting more difficult. Our job is to vote No. Matter. What. -
It gets even worse. Voting is usually administered at the county level. Setting aside the legalities of it all, can you imagine the federal government trying to organize tens of thousands of local elections at different times of the year on different schedules?

@benroyce @jaystephens i hope it’s obvious that im joking there. i certainly didnt stand by while the country elected a pants-shitting orange moron

I would rather see it stay how it is... "make the hackers really work to scam the system"... versus only having to learn one type and location for the data.
-
But we do need better toughness on voting records to remain in voting districts - meaning no one can take the originals.They can submit a FOIA and get a copy - at going $$ price... but they don't get the originals. e.g. the corruption they just foisted on Fulton County, GA.
And no voter data.

@benroyce stay strong! Germany did not and anyone knows how horrible that ended.
Hitler was the result of being weak and colaborative. May all nazis burn in hell. -

@benroyce - other truly democratic countries have arms-length federal body that runs federal elections. They provide the mechanisms / training for the election staff, they set the borders for each riding (based on giving each one approximately the same number of voters - not by skin colour or known political say) - and it’s not up to the country’s leader to direct his party to take over the election process.
That’s more along the lines of Russia or Belarus. Trump’s chums. -

the usa's current problems are partly because our voting system is so antiquated. which other countries have vastly improved upon and are thus more resilient to the MAGA-like influences
but one benefit of our ancient crappy system is that it is so byzantine and locally controlled. therefore, harder for the orange turd to manipulate

@benroyce I keep telling people this is the real reason he keeps saying it. If everyone gives up hope then it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Unfortunately there's enough mindlessly cynical cowardly spineless Americans out there that #prematureCapitulation is a real effect. These losers (literally, not an empty insult) just give up merely because malice exists in the world. In some ways they are worse than #MAGA. You can fIght MAGA. What can you do with empty inert lumps ready to just submit? #Cynicism is acceptance

There is no one as tedious and annoying as the "both sides suck" "you're just voting for the lesser of two evils" edgelords
