The real rigging wasn’t at the polls, Democratic and Independent poll watchers didn’t report any significant election irregularities.

The real rigging was via unlimited billionaire funds to fill the media with propaganda (see Firehose of Falsehood), exacerbated by voter roll purges.

Why even manipulate the vote count itself, when you can just effectively brainwash the voters themselves via unlimited propaganda.

“Mr. President, there was a nuclear detonation over Kiev”

“Did we do it?”

“No Sir, it seem to have been the Americans”

(obviously this conversation would be in Russian, but most of us here don’t speak/read Russian so here’s the English version)

Yeaaa about that.

If we cant get people to the polls.

How do we get people to the streets?

You must be European. I admire your voting system.

But unfortunately, USA runs under FPTP. We do not have European Luxury.

Party A: We will make teeny tiny bit of progress

Party B: We will try to destroy every progress ever made

Party C: We will make a lot of progress

Election Results:

Party A gets 45% of the vote

Party B gets 48% of the vote

Party C gets 6% of the vote

remaining votes are incorrectly marked and therefore invalidated

Under first past the post rules, Party B wins, even when the majority wanted some progress, no matter how small, now the party of regression and destruction are in power.

Good job.

TDLR: Fuck FPTP voting system, we really need ranked choice voting system.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak for me.

What more context do you need?

I mean, the name is obviously inspired by the historical little red books.

I’ve never tried this, but I’ve heard that in the US (where I live) if you declare bankrupcy, all debts cannot be reported to credit report after 7 years of the declaration of bankrupcy. And the lender cannot initiate legal proceeding against you to force you pay. So as long as you don’t own property, the debt is (for the most part) gone.

(However, student loans seem to be an exception to this rule)

Step 1: Refuse to pay

Step 2: Wait 7 years

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit?

Nah, there won’t be WW3. Instead we get countries sabotaging each other via hacking critical infrastructure, proxy wars, propaganda, trade wars.

I doubt there will ever be a direct “hot war” between the top five nuclear powers ever again.

WW3 is not what’s gonna kill people, climate change is more likely gonna be humanity’s downfall.

Get into politics.

Replace “expert knowledge” with “knowledge about how to manipulate people to vote for you”

Take bribes. Listens to whats your puppet-masters tell you to vote.

Ez money.
