Hey, so i wanted to comment here for two reasons, one, to see my new signature, and two, to tell a story...
Today, at work, a customer came and was watching the news. I live in a very Republican state, so I asked if she hear about trump and Russia...
She said it's a lie, of course no one hacked one of our nation's most valuable systems.
I told her that many intelligence communities, including the CIA , the NSA, and tge FBI have all confirmed that the Russians did interfere and sway it in the direction of trump...
She instantly frowned and started to give what (I guessed) is got to be the best bulldog impression ever and continued to say that the democrats are sore losers and its all their fault.. etc.
I then told her (Very calmly, being the well educated young politically active man i am) that my source was FOX news, CNN, among others...
Fox news just happened to be on the tv at that time. She instantly frowned farther (how, I still wonder?) and stormed off, out the door, clearly exasperated.
The reason i am sharing this with you all is to stress a very important component to a healthy democracy of any kind.
Educated voters are the sign of a healthy democracy, other signs include an unbiased voting system, free of interference.
Both of those signs are not as prevalent in the United States anymore, as demonstrated by many voters (old and young), and the biased system that is known as gerrymandering..
The dead may not tell tales, but they certainly have one.
