The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. (John F. Kennedy)(Google photo) Happy Wednesday, everyone. - ThreadSky

Also count the 13 million legitimate votes that were tossed out

How true that is but unfortunately there are many ignorant voters along with voter fraud crimes by maga so called Republicans

Ignorance is most of the world at this point. Continuing education and self guided learning is almost nonexistent. 'News' is biased and limited as they strive for eyeballs. The band Green Day was prophetic. The apathetic person who doesn't vote is also smug.

Exactly! In Venezuela yr 1999, Hugo Chavez won by "popular vote"; 40+% of voters did not go out to vote. The ones that voted for him: "tired" the two major parties, and also liked his message of violence against the middle and wealthy class ( a country with more than 40 parties). A 25yr dictatorship
