I don't have faith in the election system anymore. You bet your ass I'm going to vote but I honestly expect them to completely fuck with the election now. What's stopping them?
Voter fraud only works in small batches. Erasing stuff in the margins. If its large and egregious then people will get wise to it immediately.
That's their goal. They want you to lose hope and give up on the process. We cannot let them have that.
But even if it was blatant, who tf is going to hold them accountable when they can just shrug and say 'Staying president is for the good of the country!'
I totally get where you are coming from. They want us to lose hope, that's how they win but we can win in November and begin to work to fix things
I mean that's literally the Putin playbook. Incite nihilistic tendencies in the population and distort the truth so they don't know where to turn, so they turn on each other, while the top breaks laws and takes their money. Sounds familiar.
Like I said, I'm still voting. But it's more of a 'might as well try' than a 'my vote will help fix this'
Elections are won on demoralizing the opposition moreso than rallying the base. Don't let yourself be played like that.
All I can say is there are good people out there who want to make things better. I truly believe we are going to see a huge shift once Trump is out and the scope of what happened is truly exposed to the public. The best example I can use is what happened in Ireland with people finding out the truth about the Catholic Church and completely abandoning it which led to a much more progressive political culture. Not saying it will definitely happen here but it certainly can happen.
