I'm not being a dick here
I can also say with statistical certainty that certain heavy caliber guns with a spin chamber, when spun, will spin with the single bullet on the bottom, with three empty chambers before it.
I'm still not playing Russian Roulette with that information.
I have to say, the efforts of the Republican Party in the US to convince left-wing voters that voting doesn’t matter have been astonishingly successful. The number of people on here who say their vote doesn’t make any difference . . . so autocracy it is, I guess?
It's not just that, and I say that strongly for those outside the United States.
We, in this country, have had historically AND TO THIS DAY a very very real problem with voter suppression.
So much so that North Carolina has not been considered a democracy for over a decade I think.
So the point
So, now you're pointing at my state, and the only real rebuttal I have is: it's complicated. Yes, we're ridiculously gerrymandered to render every federal house race save 1 completely uncompetitive. The state legislature is even worse.
For statewide races, we're still kinda purple-ish.
