35. I think that if it has come down to the point where we have
ZERO confidence in the idea that our votes count, across the country, it's time for much more than just political action. The entire basis for the Constitution has been destroyed, if that is the case, and even talking about it isn't going to do any good, since our votes don't count.

The counting of votes is EVEN MORE BASIC than the dissemination of information by the media, which is most definitely saying something. I'd say that votes being counted is the only thing that matters more than the media's integrity, politically.

If we've lost that, consistently and on a widespread basis, truly, we've lost everything, and there's no need to be constrained by the so-called Constitution and "rule of law."
