figure that every time out there's some mercenary who dumps a couple hundred dem ballots in the trash and tbh it's probably balanced out by another mercenary doing the same to repub ballots.

Note that all of the big spikes on 538 are to the right of 288 = Obama most likely won't need it. Which will be handy, because it could be a long time before that state is actually settled.

constant "yer into feeling SUPERIOR" sneer thrown at you /= constant "yer into feeling SUPERIOR" sneer thrown at minor-party voters
<3 you balls but this is bullshit, sneering condescension toward minor-party voters is pretty consistent among Democrats. Also the "you want happy ending" line a couple posts later is a li'l racist maybe don't perpetuate bogus-ass Asian stereotype "hilarious" accent bullshit? cool thanks

the true path banakan ideology would consider the rigged voting machine as the only article of hope in the abyss, promising as it does the crushing of whimsical feelgood sentiment by the crystalline instrumental logic of the autophagous parasite-host that is capital prior to the singularity

will we even have elections after the singularity, wouldn't we just all vote for ourselves and then get on with resonating with the music of the spheres or w/e

The Singularity implies a quasi-religious eschatological event i.e. "the Rapture for geeks", beyond which one can only speculate. We do not choose to speak of our project in those terms.
