    Violating the integrity of the vote is never a valid strategy. Your personal views are not a good enough reason to take away the votes of others. You are one person, there are over 300 million people in a America. The views of one person do not invalidate the views of 300 million, and the same remains true even if a lot of people agree with that one person. Nobody is important enough for their views to be more important than a fair vote, especially not someone who thinks that they are.

      At what point do you think it becomes ethical to break the law for the greater good?

      I don’t like the idea of destroying ballots either. It’s so undemocratic. It’s a shame that other actors don’t have scruples about it though.

      Is it truly better to wait for the fascists to come to power before we resist them? It seems that would allow them to enact much more harm.

      Anyway, I don’t endorse destroying ballots. But I do understand why people would be so disenfranchised with a system that’s working against the individuals that they would feel compelled to take some sort of action.

        It depends on the law. People are starving to death? Fuck your profits, grab the food off the shelves.

        You’re scared your favorite little guy won’t win the election? Bite your nails off for all I care, you do not interfere with the voice of the people. You shit your pants watching.

    Straight to Leavenworth.

    What is with people and self-snitching? Do they need attention that much?
