I think Wolfie's whole point of this thread was that Jmods really shouldn't have put that joke in. They should've known people were going to react like this. They also probably know that those people are mentally deficient and should be disregarded.

Also, just to clarify the joke: it probably has more to do with the fact that the penguins -- a.k.a. the KGP, a.k.a. the "bad guys" of the Cold War... yes, them -- were interfering in an election to support a blond-haired guy. You know, as opposed to rigging votes specifically or cheating in an election generally.

This is even assuming that it refers to American politics at all, it could be referring to Boris Johnson or something for all we know. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

inb4lock but I mean the joke writes itself
Supposedly Trump had help from Russia
Noodle talks of the Motherland and rigging the vote
hurrdurr real life references make me mad

That said, Hillary didn't rig the primary vote. She just did some unfair things while staying within the law. Kinda like how gerrymandering is legal, but it pisses a lot of people off and really isn't fair. The DNC definitely swayed it in her favor, and the whole superdelegate thing is a whole other discussion.

What I believe is that if Bernie had won the primary, we wouldn't be in the current nightmare. Old Democrats will almost always vote Democrat, but when young people are presented with a fairly unpopular candidate with talk of corruption around them, they might not have any incentive to get out and vote. A lot just don't care, unless it directly affects their rights.

... like not going to the bathroom you feel safest in.
... or losing access to birth control and medicine.
... or having several people who paid for and supported gay conversion therapy in charge.
... or having your visa seized unlawfully.
... or having your property vandalized for your race or religion.
... but thankfully, none of that has happened so far, right? God bless America, right? MAGA! Woooo! Click here to support my idea to make the Chronicle Absorption prayer useful!

The United States can't go by popular vote. We don't have a homogeneous population that would work with that, people from Texas, California, and Florida all have different needs. Half our population is packed into large cities. The rural states would get fucked over by popular vote. Rural states that mind you, produce the majority of our food, they deserve a say in our government.

That sort of rationale makes sense for an office meant to represent the individual states in comparison with each other (the House and Senate), but makes little sense regarding an office that is meant to represent the people as a whole (the President).

At the very least, the states should distribute their electoral votes proportionally to the votes cast in their state rather than giving all of their electoral votes to whomever happens to snag the barest majority in the state (yes, I know that this is not the practice in all states, but it is very common) as that utterly disregards the dissenting voices of their own citizens and fails to represent them (blue, red, and battleground states are all guilty of this).

It's Auto Hide so no one but Jagex can see it. Then you can't get trolled for posting it.

I've locked this now as it's turning into a political thread about vote rigging that may or may not happen in other countries. Comprehensive Account Security
