    Things are not great in the US (and worldwide). But I always get pushback when I encourage people to vote and remind them that this is not North Korea or Russia, your vote still actually matters! Whoever you are, you can help prevent your country’s slide into fascism…

            There’s an image which explains what I’m talking about

            It is somewhere

            It’s very near

            If you search, I think you will be able to locate it. Don’t give up

                And yet, you’re such a genius at political science that you’ve got essential insights on how voting works that the rest of us aren’t privy to. It is a mystery.

        When… it is accurately counted and applied? That should be a low bar, but dictators in the aforementioned countries regularly win with more than 100% of the total vote percentage.
