It's just HTML/CSS/JS that I tweak until it looks good, it's really disgusting and slapped together from shit I copied here and there, and an old challenge I cloned at a CTF.
Attached if you want to use it, you will need to fuck around with the grid size because it's really patchwork right now, everything is included as a data URL so you don't need assets.

Edit: check the source before you run it, if you run unchecked code from the web, you're a retard.

I’ll reiterate. Michigan is very affected by the Gaza shit. It’s not just Muslims. The Jews in Oakland county are also pissed at Harris.

It’s one of the only places where you can go from extremely pro-Israel to extremely pro-Palestine. Trump courted them very well.

In Detroit, you have multiple niggas who Trump pardoned campaigning for him. Wayne county is unlikely for Trump, but it’s not unbelievable even with Detroit. Most of the people who live in Detroit live in Washtenaw, which is where the University of Michigan is.

Detroit is inconsequential for Michigan. Kent, Oakland, Saginaw, and Macomb are what matters. Biden flipped Kent and Saginaw. Oakland is very likely.

I’m in rural PA due to work, but most of my family is in MI or OH. Just something I’ve noticed.

dude the people freaking out that not voting = voting for kamala completely do not understand why i don't vote.

I do not believe the system exists. The electoral system of the United States is a collective hallucination. I do not believe that there a single direct correlation between the physical act of voting and the numbers that are tallied. Every single electronic vote is discarded without being written to memory, identical to how voting down a comment on YouTube triggers no network event and is just an illusion on your screen that makes you feel better. Every single paper ballot is burned.

I'm not exaggerating. It's not a joke. I do not believe that there is a single vote in the United States that is counted towards electing a candidate. Every single "My Vote Counted" sticker is a lie. There is no genuine connection between the ballot and the results of the election.

Instead, turnout is counted, and turnout represents approval of the status quo and the system. They do count these votes and do account for fraud when counting them. This is the vote that actually decides if policy meaningfully changes: the binary action of voting. In 2020, 66% of the US voted. This is 66% of the US population telling the Federal Government they support the continued existence of the Federal Government, and that they believe democracy works. I was a part of the third of the US that does not believe that. I do not believe in the US Federal Government and I believe the sooner it collapses, the better. So, I indicate this to the government by not voting.

Do you even read the shit you write?
If they don't count votes and just let whoever win then how the fuck did Trump win in 2016? When did they stop counting any votes? How do they keep track of write-ins, even ones with single digit votes, if they don't count any of them? How has nobody spoken up about this if it's true?
You're either retarded or delusional.

??? what does this have to do with not voting in a system that doesn't exist?

A lot of Americans, especially on this subfourm, believe voting in the system is the only hope left. They're not likely to make it if Harris wins, either because they will twist themselves in a pretzel to justify continuing to vote so they can keep their version of hope, or just outright kill themselves because they had no plan for what to do if there are no electoral options left.

You cannot be seriously telling me you think Trump was part of the plan all along when our media and elites spent the next 4 years throwing a nonstop pants-shitting tantrum about him being in office. That they essentially gave up 3 Supreme Court Justices and agitated the populace to the point of riots in 2020 as part of some clever strategy to no end.

I don't care who you are willing to vote for (or whether you're willing to vote), that's your prerogative. I take umbrage with the idea that our electoral system is all one big kabuki theater.

His justification for not voting - really, for not even participating in the system whatsoever - amounts to little more than, "the system doesn't work because it's been mean to me".

Consider, most people who bring a civil action believe "the system works" when it concludes in their favor, but when their case is dismissed "the system" is "out to get me".

In his mind "the system" is supposed to protect websites like this engaging in constitutionally protected, if occasionally offensive, speech but because "the system" has been abused by transfreaks he hasn't received the result he believes is correct - therefore "ITS NAWT REAL!".

Very cringe and very gay.

All that said, he's correct as to fact that not enough eligible voters vote, and plenty of those that do are not truly engaged or informed. That is the problem, not this horse-hockey about the system not being "real".

American worker right's have seriously degraded in the last decade. If you are poor, they absolutely could pull something on you, and unless you are educated enough to catch it and have access to a lawyer you can afford or who will agree to hear you, you're screwed. Many of these people are so tired from overwork they would not even bother.

One time, I actually decided to test to see if my vote was counted.

I lived, at the time, in a very rural, isolated precinct that was heavily GOP in a blue state.

Two of my roommates and I all decided to cast our votes at our precincts for the most obscure third-party candidate available as president, since we didn't like either of the main offerings.

We figured, instead of throwing a vote away, we can check and see whether this precinct's votes are accurately counted.

Several third-party candidates received 0 votes (small precinct, rural, very GOP). But the super-obscure one we cast three votes for...had three votes from our precinct. They were counted. They're literally still in the books today.

It was a pretty cool experience. If you are in a place where your vote is extremely unlikely to make a difference, or if you planned not to vote, or if you were going to vote third-party anyway, I highly recommend it.
