I've been shushing people who say there won't be free #elections in the #USA anymore

#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

On that note (they won't succeed):

" #Trump urges #Republicans to 'take over' and 'nationalize' voting"

ABC News

@Asbestos @benroyce also, even if true, why NOT vote for a lesser evil? 馃し

@dlundh @Asbestos

Because if a candidate is not perfect I can't taint my perfect soul. And before I vote I have to feel like my vote is a statement of eternal love. Only then will I vote

Oh if I don't vote I help fascism win?

Well don't you know my holy self-regard and perfectionist ego masturbation is far more important than my entitled lazy inaction resulting in goons murdering people in the streets, donchaknow
