there are people such as myself barred from voting and there are states wanting to only have one candidate on the voting ballot on top of what this article mentions
please change my mind with good facts begging you please give us hope that this comment is wrong
If votes don’t matter then you shouldn’t care that you can’t vote… I’m of the opinion that no one should lose voting rights ever. It’s a stupid punishment.
The election is “rigged” if you consider “rigged” to mean that first past the post voting always devolves into a two party system, and Citizens United caused both of those parties to be bought.
If by “rigged” you mean that someone today already knows for certain who will win in November, then no, that’s crazy. But I’d agree that the difference in candidates is smaller than it should be because both are heavily influenced by money.
mean rigged as in the bipartisan politics that took my vote away were crafted by the same groups that have candidates on the ballot for people to “vote” for
democrats and republicans made laws and policies on a bipartisan effort nationally and statewide to invalidate a portion of Americans from voting and they disallow third parties from debating on the national debate platforms
the two corporate parties both rigged the game board in their favor plain as day and it does not matter which of the two “parties” win because either way we the people lose
Ok yeah. That’s just the first past the post voting system in action. Until that changes, the best we can do is vote against the candidate we hate the most.
votes do not matter and the election is rigged
