Every single aspect of voting in this country is a system of hedging bets. It is a tangled mess of yarn, fishing line, cables, and hair. Unfucking a single piece of it wouldn’t fix it, nor is anyone even willing to try. The system cannot correct itself and voting is a useless waste of time. The only way to “Save Democracy” would be to burn it all down and go again.

I'm told that if we vote and then wish hard enough RCV will manifest and save everything

Lemmytors are truly insufferable, they come out and speak like the patients from heavy delusions jokes, but are entirely serious. And the worst part is, they are always assume it "will happen" despite all the centuries of it not happening.

No, silly, she can't win because it has been foreordained as such.
