And the sad part is, they're gonna do it again next year. And there's nothing being done to counter them. They've become the Nazi Germany of the 21st century.

Well we could stop it if we went with reasonably secure voting machines, but apparently nobody in charge gives a blue fuck.

Welcome to Earth.

Okay, sorry, been rewatching ID4 a lot lately. But point being, that's how it's been since 2000, and it's showing no signs of changing.

And a good chunk of them wouldn't be counted. Maybe for legitimate reasons, maybe for no reason at all.

But absolutely no chance of electronic trickery. People like Orwell could see this coming a mile off... people like Einstein...

Sad thing is that this is allowed to happen because it benefits them and those that have bought out American politicians so things are only going to get worse.

In my darker moments, I sometimes hope for a war, because it sure feels a lot safer than living in a conquered world, where history is being rewritten.
