Long term computer programmer, making my own library. American based. Far left politically. Promotes use of paper ballots. Follows news about environmental collapse, political corruption in my country, human rights, science and tech.


I would like to think so
I am very pessimistic!
Most of my life I was either apolitical or even conservative. About ten years ago I started to become active in the Texas Democratic Party and ran headlong into voting irregularities by both the computer voting company and my county government. This started an involuntary slide to the left ( true left , not liberalism) as I encountered a brick wall in my weak efforts to make the ballot counting in my area more transparent.
I fully believe most computer ballot counting is not reliable and thus there will be a forever dance between this democratic - republican switching.
But the way out of this has not been seen in this country. I am not sure there is a realistic escape from the above, and fully expect truly bad gop governments in the future which will alternate with Democratic Party governments
This situation is a good test for both intent and realism over the next two years among the politically minded on social medias.
A good way to fall short is to insist on letter writing campaigns, or say it’s politically necessary for top democrats to accept ICE.
More specifically I am looking to see how this changes political movements, if at all, when and if the top democrats fail to do much over the next years
I decided to try this with my gf, now am homeless, please help
I’m honestly proud I know this reference without looking it up. Feel educated


Most democracies do not use voting machines because it’s impossible to trust anyone with creating and maintaining it.
If there is a way to change the vote tallies, then clever people will use it to enrich themselves.
The only way to circumvent most cheating is by paper ballots recounted manually in front of representatives of all candidates: recounted as many times as asked; and the ballots must be kept in public view until a winner is declared.
Putting the ballots into any other device negates some or all of the above.
And I would only have to say this in American political posts. But Americans are married to voting in ways that cannot be verified, except in some states. So most likely what’s seen as common sense in most of the world is either ignored or viewed with suspicion here.
Ask any student in the uk though; and I’m just echoing what has been taught in school to young children


it’s a pretty inconclusive statement , and can be interpreted.
Post here when he and others say it’s correct


Making things very obscured is not a proof.
The guy is politely saying it’s nonsense
I think most local politics can have greater participation: when there are more places to hang out and socialize in that community.
It just cannot be done by staying inside, on the internet. People have to meet face to face.
Of course, it would help too if there were political movements that caught people’s attention and whose success could be measured. Trying to elect people who are less corrupt, all by itself, will not inspire many.
I’ve known at least one who has; of course it was for different purposes, outcomes and all that.
But it’s very possible, and realistic.
Which is what makes the joke funny


quietly judge people based on what they bought
This is the reason it’s worth it. No other industry, except delivery, allows nosy people to judge so many others, safety, and without comment


I’m cynically believing that this is the beginning of enforcing a copywrite use tax; when anyone generates something that is visual or audible.
The tax will be collected by the government and put into a slush fund that mostly goes to corporations and wealthy, while ostensibly supposed to go fairly to all creators

wrong film
Second reality on your left, past the one where Santa Clause rules the world
Almost like false advertising
