That is what I'm saying, that if any substantial number of overseas Americans actually did exercise their "right" to vote in a way that impacted the results of an election in any meaningful way, that the entire facade of democracy would just immediately come crashing down, as the powers-that-be would just make up some shit about "foreign votes by mail" being a form of election fraud, and commit a coup. History proves time and time again that the moment average people actually manage to "hack" the electoral game, the game just gets thrown right out the window, right?
I'm also an overseas American with ties to a blue state, and I was going back and forth on whether I should vote at all, but I've resolved that I'm going to vote in this election for Claudia and Karina. I'm not expecting to change the results of the election at all, and to that extent it is a "waste of time"; but it will at least give the PSL a little more visibility, and it might be good for agitprop to say that I voted.
