First:

Voting is a scam fundamentally. Because it is unverifiable.

  1. You can't check that your individual vote is counted.
  2. You can't check that your individual vote is counted correctly.
  3. You can't check that others votes are counted.
  4. You can't check that others votes are counted correctly.

Unverifiable things are scam. It's up to you to participate in scams, but it is very unhealthy to propagandize others to participate too.

Voting is just a political spectacle to make you think that somebody else voted for the elected bastard.

Second:

Even if you make voting verifiable, that will not add any sense to elections. Because elected are not prosecuted criminally for not fulfilling all promises they gave to become elected. They just have zero responsibility. What's the point to elect somebody who can't be hold responsible and could promise anything before voting to get sweet job?

Third:

"Freedom of choice" have nothing to do with any freedom, when options to choose from selected by somebody else. Existing elections are not some manifestation of freedom. Elections even if completely honest are just humiliating approval of someone else choice.

There are also other severe problems with modern election system. Voting could work perfectly in small communities where everybody know each other. But modern system for choosing authorities is just a scam fundamentally and unrepairably.

All good points. Good answer.

Similar to points I hear the Quash mention routinely on his weekly podcast. https://podcastaddict.com/the-quash/episode/180378446
