I want to make this absolutely clear: the United States has a unique, decentralized voting mechanism, totally different from how they run elections elsewhere in the world. Whenever people talk about “the vote is not even going to happen”, they are referring to a situation that *cannot* happen here. Whenever you talk about not bothering to vote because it doesn’t matter, or it’s not worth supporting politicians at this point, because they’re all the same or the vote is somehow rigged, you’re being disingenuous, dishonest, or both. I will not be taking anything you say seriously after you say something like that. If you are not a United States voter, I especially do not want to see your opinion on whether or not elections are taking place here. Killing hope is a well-known information warfare technique and we have to protect ourselves from it. #USPol
