last year i was talking to my cousin and they told a story about their great uncle who was about 7 years old in 1920 for the election and his dad took him down to the polling station to see the results. this was back in the day, you understand, and you'd have to go look at a chalkboard to see the tally. anyway my great uncle twice removed or whatever he is, he looked at the tally and then looked down at the kid and said, "they didn't count my vote."
"how do you know, dad?"
"because it says there's 0 votes for eugene debs!"
amerikkkan “democracy” and manipulating vote counts, name a more iconic duo
not in that district
Yeah American democracy has always been rigged. Thousands of dead people voted for JFK. Nixon wasn't unique, he was just not in the old boys club and they wanted him out. When he said he wasn't a crook he wasn't, compared to the standards of the time
