Nationalize voting?
Dude, that’s an overhaul on par with… jfc I can’t even.
There are 50+ different voting systems set up to function under 50+ legal and governmental and constitutional contexts.
Please.
I would rather see it stay how it is... "make the hackers really work to scam the system"... versus only having to learn one type and location for the data.

But we do need better toughness on voting records to remain in voting districts - meaning no one can take the originals.They can submit a FOIA and get a copy - at going $$ price... but they don't get the originals. e.g. the corruption they just foisted on Fulton County, GA.
And no voter data.

i see european accounts saying the vote in the USA is now corrupted
europeans also like to tell americans to vote third party
third party in an FPTP voting system divides the left and hands MAGA a win
and the vote is controlled by the states. maybe some red states will corrupt the vote but they are already red states
europeans are entitled to speak on american politics
but europeans really need to educate themselves before they say something which only harms their own concerns
@benroyce stay strong! Germany did not and anyone knows how horrible that ended.
Hitler was the result of being weak and colaborative. May all nazis burn in hell. -

Yes, our Byzantine system is exquisitely hard to hack. But we can shore it up.

I've been shushing people who say there won't be free #elections in the #USA anymore
#Cynicism leads to #prematureCapitulation: "if the #vote is corrupt, why vote"
Americans are lazy about voting as it is. Weak whiny "the sky is falling!" statements just because malicious intent exists is enough to make some give up
Besides, elections are controlled by the states
On that note (they won't succeed):

@benroyce - other truly democratic countries have arms-length federal body that runs federal elections. They provide the mechanisms / training for the election staff, they set the borders for each riding (based on giving each one approximately the same number of voters - not by skin colour or known political say) - and it’s not up to the country’s leader to direct his party to take over the election process.
That’s more along the lines of Russia or Belarus. Trump’s chums. -

the usa's current problems are partly because our voting system is so antiquated. which other countries have vastly improved upon and are thus more resilient to the MAGA-like influences
but one benefit of our ancient crappy system is that it is so byzantine and locally controlled. therefore, harder for the orange turd to manipulate

@benroyce And write it in COBOL to run on IBM 360 systems in keeping with the IRS system.

@benroyce I keep telling people this is the real reason he keeps saying it. If everyone gives up hope then it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Unfortunately there's enough mindlessly cynical cowardly spineless Americans out there that #prematureCapitulation is a real effect. These losers (literally, not an empty insult) just give up merely because malice exists in the world. In some ways they are worse than #MAGA. You can fIght MAGA. What can you do with empty inert lumps ready to just submit? #Cynicism is acceptance

@benroyce
There is no one as tedious and annoying as the "both sides suck" "you're just voting for the lesser of two evils" edgelords -
@benroyce 🎯 ... the doomsayers make me want to scream.
They 💯 are going to make voting more difficult. Our job is to vote No. Matter. What.
@PamelaBarroway @benroyce

@benroyce This ^ , this makes me so weary, tired (& somewhat angry) that I hear people saying things like this… & *some* are definitely not naive & are very learned people (who are much older than me & have had a lot more experiences) But they don’t seem to understand, well, this ^!
I keep fighting them back when they say things like this. Sometimes it just comes down to “this is not the country I’m fighting for” & I just tell them that they are going to make it worse by talking like that . -

@benroyce I have more hope than this. It's why I haven't stopped talking to people about it.

Sometimes it just comes down to “this is not the country I’m fighting for” & I just tell them that they are going to make it worse by talking like that .This whole era has taught me so many on the right are ignorant bigots. Which you could say I should have known and I agree but I did expect more infighting and not such vast meek complicit silence from so called "patriotic conservatives" against obvious fascism
But also much more sadly many on the left are impotent spineless whiners who won't fight
Vote. Protest
Wringing your hands and paralyzed in mindless cynicism and toxic idealism is just pure loser

Thank you. I'm a hothead and a loud mouth and I just yell at them. But I admit your approach is more constructive

@antonuzzo1 la repressione è sempre anche una grande opportunità di rilancio. Hanno chiuso e stanno chiudendo i centri sociali, quasi tutti di sinistra. È una grande opportunità di riportare la politica e l'attivismo in ogni altro angolo della vita sociale: strade, piazze, scuole, università... I centri sociali fanno parte di una storia e un periodo che non c'è più, sono anche più facili da controllare. Voglio vedere cosa faranno quando il dissenso si articolerà in ogni cellula sociale.

Il punto, per me, è che non basta denunciare la deriva: serve anche ricostruire una cittadinanza che non accetti passivamente questi tentativi. Altrimenti continueremo a oscillare tra indignazione e rassegnazione, senza mai incidere davvero

Sulle priorità investigative: è vero che ciclicamente qualcuno prova a rimettere mano all’indipendenza dell’azione penale, ma questo dimostra quanto sia fragile l’equilibrio tra potere politico e potere giudiziario. Ogni volta che si tenta di spostare quell’equilibrio, lo si fa sempre con la scusa dell’efficienza, mai ammettendo apertamente il rischio di interferenze.

@G3rt Capisco il quadro che descrivi, ma secondo me c’è un punto che spesso sfugge: se davvero da trent’anni si restringono gli spazi democratici, allora il problema non è solo “chi governa”, ma un’intera cultura politica che ha smesso di pretendere trasparenza, competenza e responsabilità.
La retorica della “stabilità” funziona proprio perché una parte consistente della popolazione è stata educata a considerare la partecipazione come un fastidio, non come un diritto.

Lo avevo pubblicato tempo fa. Lo ripubblico, perché credo sia una delle conferenze più chiare e schiette del prof. Canfora che dice molto di ciò che stiamo vivendo e che ancora ci aspetta.
