Idiot's Guide to Voting in America

Today is Election Day. Here is a concise idiot's guide for voting in America, in case anyone needs it.

First, erase from your stultified mind the delusion your vote matters. Your vote and you do not matter, especially if you're not from a swing state with a small population and a large number of electoral votes. Ask any statistician. The result will not be affected if you stay home and binge-watch Will Smith movies. If, however, you want to waste your time and exercise your right to vote, the following guide will maximize your influence.

Don't vote for Kamala. She says she would end the Gaza War and protect abortion rights if she is elected. Why should anyone trust her empty promises? Kamala says she would do everything in her power, which means she would do nothing, as she would be an empty suit if elected. Kamala was appointed to be the Democratic Party's candidate. She is a puppet, at best. She also promises Israel would be satisfied with the arrangement, which is impossible. Kamala promises a paradox and an oxymoron, in other words, a paradoxymoron. I would rather believe in a thousand angels dancing on a pinhead.

As for protecting abortion rights, it's a bald-faced lie. For fifty years, the Democratic Party never enacted Roe vs Wade into law, even when they held the Trifecta, and they meekly gave up the Supreme Court to Trump and the Republicans, so they can now use abortion rights as a rallying cry during elections. Out of the blue, Kamala the Saviour descends upon humanity to protect women's rights. It's worse than a lie. It's a disgraceful lie.

Last but not least, they call themselves the Democratic Party and Trump's party as authoritarian. However, Trump was elected in the primaries while Kamala was appointed. "The only thing worse than a liar is a liar who is a hypocrite," quoth Tennessee Williams. And the only thing worse than a liar and a hypocrite is someone who is also a genocidal murderer and blabbering idiot. You vote for Kamala at your own risk.

For even stronger reasons, never vote for Trump. Aside from the mendacious and moronic miscreant he is, his first term empirically proves he is an imbecile. His easy-to-win US-China trade war was a complete failure, causing more self-harm as China continued to rise. Total Covid deaths during his term were over a million, while China's were about 14,000. Even India only had half a million. The West shrugged off Trump's murderous record but cantankerously chastised China for not opening up sooner and incurring a more respectable mortality.

As if such a pitiful record is not enough to disqualify him, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse by a jury and guilty on thirty-four felony counts of falsifying business records. He also has three outstanding indictments, two federal cases and one in Georgia. America is such a place where non-white people get killed while sleeping in their own beds by law enforcement. Yet a brazen, lawless scofflaw is defended by otherwise thoughtful and sane people and elected to be the president. Go figure.

Some people may vote for Trump because they think he is peaceful. Don't let his thirty thousand lies, give or take a few hundred, fool you. He is only telling you what you want to hear. He supports Israel's genocidal slaughter of babies and women in Gaza. Almost in the same breath, he accuses Liz Cheney of being a war hawk. His suggestion of having guns trained on warmongers is actually not a bad idea, but he tells only half the story because the whole story affects him. How about making war hawks spend their own money to make war? Capitalists would rather die than use their own money for war. The next time Trump wants to fire forty Tomahawks at some place, assassinate someone or deliver bombs to allies for killing babies, make him pay for the expenses and send Junior, Eric or Baron to do the job. That is how you can magically turn war hawks into peaceniks.

Don't waste your time on the fringe candidates. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a supporter of genocidal murder and has endorsed Trump for president. Jill Stein talks the good talk, but wielding no votes in Congress or the Senate, she will not implement even one of her dreams. Vote for Jill Stein by all means, but you will not move the needle. 

Americans, if you want change, don't expect your elected officials to deliver it. You may need to change the system by revolution. If you don't know how to start a revolution, learn from the Chinese. And if you don't know what the Chinese did to succeed. Read Unconquered. Go to my website and leave me a message.
