Remember when Trump won in 2016, even though every god damned poll said he wouldn't?

Remember the conclusion that came out on why every poll got it wrong? People figured it was because many people were simply too scared to answer honestly that they would vote Trump.

A simple anonymous poll, conducted by complete strangers with no inherent power (political or otherwise) and people were too scared to answer honestly.

How long before people will be too scared to vote honestly? Remember, unlike a polling company, the ones counting your vote do have political power. And the "shadow government" has proven that it is not afraid to wield that power to suit their preferences.

There's a saying here: he who today steals an egg, tomorrow steals an ox.

Today the FBI censored people and information critical to at least 1 election.

What will they steal tomorrow?

America has had problems with their elections for some time.

An informed vote is critical for a democracy, and for much too long a lot of people have voted out of complete and utter ignorance.

At least you can argue that this political ignorance is not just an issue for USA, it exists to some proportion everywhere.

But what the FBI and the news media has done these years, is the straw that broke the camel's back. It's no longer an issue of an ignorant vote, it's an issue of a blatantly and purposefully misinformed vote, orchestrated by people who would directly politically profit from the outcome of this directed vote.

You can't ignore this. You can't call the voting process intact and trustworthy after these revelations. What USA has experienced is exactly what was being done all the time in the soviet block. It's what even Putin did with his opponents. Block, censor, arrest those who talk against you, and use the propaganda machine to praise your leadership, even when you drive the country straight into disrepair. That's how you act as an authoritarian.

That's how you destroy democracy.

To be honest, I don't know and I don't care much about people's sex stuff.

@dave
Votes no longer hold any value when you are no longer informed.

When you vote, you consent to who you want to rule over you. If you're denied critical information about one candidate, and you're given blatant false information about that other candidate, you can no longer talk about informed consent.

It's a sham vote. It's fake. Your democracy is no more legitimate than North Korea's. Your entire populace has been subjected to the very same propaganda and misinformation of every other soviet state.

Stop living in denial. Accept this fact, so that you can actually fight against it.

@dave
Nope. Not when you have the FBI playing political favorites and directing social media to censor stuff. That's not a democracy anymore. Learn from ex-communist soviet countries. We used to have "elections" during Ceaușescu's days. Nobody in their right mind would have said we were a democracy, or would have thought they could vote against Ceaușescu without the secret services coming after them.

@dave
I'm more concerned over the fact that America is no longer a democratic republic.

No. There is evidence that Shoe0nhead had the Boxxy look before Boxxy became a meme.

That's rich from someone who stole his thumbnail format from Tim Pool.

Girls, don't be like this. Watch this to the very end, and take it as an example of what NOT to do.

Don't know much about India's caste system, but don't forget than in USA affirmative action is a thing.
