If the answer to 'does everyone here of age and legally able to vote?' Isn't yes then you're part of the problem.

Not legally able to, but certainly watching with dismay.

Are we entirely sure some telepath isn't playing games when it comes to Trump?

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

I am actually unsure which answer to that question is more disturbing.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would beg the question of why.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* I can think of a number of scenarios off the top of my head.

If that man is elected president I am moving to Asgard.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Might I emigrate with you? Thor is quite…dreamy is the only word I can decide upon. Angelo, might I convince you to share?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Well I know he is receptive to threesomes.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

I would assume so, being a god of fertility and such. In most mythologies the fertility gods have reputations for being…adventurous, no?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Yes I had rather counted on that at the time.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

I don't know, the guy I met was kind of a dick. But maybe back in Asgard he'd be different.

Can't any of you do anything to 'influence' things? You're meant to be super spies, right?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Oh but if I could, I would have done so already.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Well. Crap.

[x-traction.livejournal.com]

Amen. It's such a shit show and doesn't look like it's gonna get bettet any time soon :(

I'll just marry a canadian for citizenship. It's prettier up there anywaya

Fourteen year old - I'm not likely to be able to move anywhere. Unless Wade feels a pressing need to be elsewhere.

[xp-erverse.livejournal.com]

why waste your damn time tho

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Are you for serious, or just trying to troll?

[xp-erverse.livejournal.com]

The American electoral system comes down to who can better afford to rig the election in their favor. Votes mean nothing.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

It's sad that you're so easily influenced that you actually believe that.

[xp-erverse.livejournal.com]

lol grow up

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Such adult. Grownup Wow. And what does this 'being a grownup' consist of?

[xp-erverse.livejournal.com]

Arguing with 14 year olds on the Internet about the American plutocracy, apparently.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Why am I wanting this grownup thing again?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

While cynical, Mr. Quire is also not incorrect. Your electoral system is outdated and far too easily corrupted by powers with far more resources than any of us.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

And yet the answer of 'Not to play' doesn't work any better. You don't change a system by allowing those in power to continue to corrupt it.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Sometimes the answer is to change the game entirely. Removing oneself from the system in order to better point out the invalid nature of the game is a perfectly acceptable strategy.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Except it doesn't - because then you get individuals like Trump and the Tea Party candidates. Not voting, and not participating doesn't work. It just means that the people making the decisions get blank checks because their opponents didn't bother to turn up.

You wanna watch the world burn, be my guest but don't expect me to thank you for your 'non-participation' bullshit stances.
