Hi fellow dreamers.

“Rigged”.

Any not been? At least since the diebold [non-verifiable, non-auditable, proprietary] voting machine scandal that we never mended. At least since the hanging chads. At least since straight after Kennedy. At least since the start of gerrymandering. At least since the start of “the electoral college”. At least since it was only rich land owners (despite apparently winning some hard fought “civil rights” advances). At least since there’s been “lobbying” (legalised bribery). At least si…

… The list of issues to mend, is long, before can start to entertain the idea of even a possibility of a not-rigged election.

And so the not-even-wrong partisan groupthink divisive thing… just pulls more wool over our eyes. We’ve much to mend.

And it’s not like it’s just some passive flotsam needed actively tidied up. There are vast perverse incentives for the crooks to keep their puppet-politicians to placate us by; to distract us by; to divide and conquer us by, while ever the rich and special interest groups get their wants, and the rest of us, null effect.

Like the 2014 Princeton study concluded, and depicted well in its graphs

… Not a democracy. An Oligarchy. Probably should mend that. Probably should stop falling for their lies. Even just in that initial intent, to head mendwards, even though we may not yet know how. Probably better we head towards each our say being contributed to what’s implemented, than falling for another corporate state terror ploy [(or placatium false-promise ploy)] to keep their power imbalance in place, keeping us infighting among ourselves, the politically disempowered, while they [the “economic elites”] carry on getting what they want and not getting what they don’t want…

I can’t promise you all the things you want. ~*booing ensues, tomatoes get thrown*~ Okay okay, I can promise you all the things you want…

Imagine we all stop falling for it. No more purple-party oligarch-con. A chance at real democracy, really getting the will of the people implemented. Not just flatline null effect, like the Princeton study revealed. We could mend this, then what we say we want in the system would actually have meaning and real world effects. Imagine…

Good replies. Though, the 3 downvotes and no upvotes on that’s confusing me a little. … Is that downvoting to say the contrary, “Can judge an entire people by one act of one man.”?

careful with oil.

threat to germanic life.

Cannot judge an entire people by one act of one man.

… The rest could be intentionally vulgar bigots.

Yup.

A “no vote” is not a protest registered.

A “no vote” is a vote for “any tyrant will do”.

A spoiled ballot paper better registers as “none of the above”.

Gotta vote, and more, to mend this.

Don’t do what?

First they came for the 6s…

So, do you mean …

I mean for the question to be open to interpretation.

Better than I could do currently, I bet (without trying), but a couple points come to mind, from art college a quarter a century ago…

Unless going for a kind of denisovan look, could do with another line or two higher from eyes to top of head. Eyes in the middle, and then account for hair too.

For getting eyes looking female, I try imagine the middle of the outer upper corner being tugged out a little. Mostly got this here, but could be more pronounced.

Looking good. Got soul.
