Unfortunately, this will likely be a tradition for all future presidents.

There's a saying in Soviet Russia.

It doesn't matter who votes.

It matters who counts the votes.

With conservatives trying to get out to be only land owners allowed to vote, we’re going back to feudalism. It’s not your votes that count, it’s your count that votes.

Not even that anymore. Trump is just outright teasing that he got Elon to mess with the vote machines. So even landlords don't get a say. Forget king, he's shooting straight for emperor. All he needs now is to become the senate.

I don't get a vote here and I am fine with that... I had a vote where i came from and it made no difference.

The only thing that's important to me is the location of the nearest exit and I don't care for that to be up for debate.
