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):
"#Trump urges #Republicans to 'take over' and 'nationalize' voting"

Agreed. They are either naive or complicit. It is unhelpful in the extreme to participate in raising anxiety. The pros are on the case. #uspol

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

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.

just trump as usual pushing as far as he can to see how much he can get. it's unfortunately worked for him so far. but some of it is too far as we've seen on a number of his malicious bullshit efforts, fortunately

@benroyce 🎯 ... the doomsayers make me want to scream.
They 💯 are going to make voting more difficult. Our job is to vote No. Matter. What.

It gets even worse. Voting is usually administered at the county level. Setting aside the legalities of it all, can you imagine the federal government trying to organize tens of thousands of local elections at different times of the year on different schedules?

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.

@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.

@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

@KSGamingLife Mi fate venire voglia di modificare la Wii (e già era tra i piani insieme alle altre console).

@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.

@antonuzzo1 ... fa parte di un processo di limitazione progressiva degli spazi di democrazia che dura da più di trent'anni, non so se hai presente cosa sono riusciti a fare già con la legge sulla sicurezza.
Per governare e consegnare il Paese ai giochi commerciali gli serve stabilità, cioè gente rassegnata che nemmeno ci prova a contestare. Che continuino. A furia di reprimere si stanno costruendo la frusta per le loro chiappe.
