People died?
BBC ran a little interview with two USA college kids, supposedly ready to cast their first vote. One was a serious leftist, the other a Repooflican.

The serious leftist put a little too much weight on his 15 seconds of fame, trying too hard to sound like a pundit. Still, his point was perfectly valid. He isn't planning to vote because Hillary cheated Bernie out of votes. No point in voting for a monster whose job is deleting votes.

The Repoof was a female who is writing in Romney. Couldn't tolerate Trump because sexist homophobe fascist racist transphobe you fill in the other 45,289 cusswords. Obviously a Repoof can't vote for Hillary because Hillary wears a D. So the best choice is Hillary wearing an R, which is Romney.

BBCsatan confronted the non-voting leftist, saying "People died to get you the vote." I turned the radio off at that point, so I don't know if the dude had a good answer. Probably not.

Why does anyone continue to say this instantly disprovable crap? First of all, we don't have the vote in Presidential elections. The electoral college has the vote. It was specifically designed to guarantee total corruption, and it has succeeded beyond the wildest sadistic dreams of the framers.

Second, only two of our many wars were "people dying" for ANY PURPOSE AT ALL. 1776 and 1941. All the other wars were just plain evil, symptoms of infinite psychotic lunacy.

1776 eliminated Parliament, which STILL works pretty well as a feedback mechanism, and replaced it with the crazy USA STRONG system where we DON'T vote for President and CAN'T fire a bad President. Those soldiers died to KILL the vote, not to "get you the vote".

1941 was a genuine defense of our territory against Jap invaders, but it wasn't about voting**. It was about raw basic survival of the nation.

Nobody ever died to guarantee that the corrupt Electoral College will continue to preserve monopolistic insanity.

**WW2 wasn't about voting on either side. The Axis was Germany, Japan and Italy. All three had leaders who were properly elected through real parliaments, not faked or forced. The Allies were USA, UK and USSR. US had the same crazy system then as now; UK had a proper Parliament; and USSR had no elections at all. On balance the Axis was somewhat more "democratic" and "vote-based" than the Allies.
