2024 Election results

The biggest dissapointment the world has seen since Dollar Tree went to $1.25! Trust me, it is. It will be talked about till the end of time, I will tell my nieces and nephews, they will tell their kids and siblings kids, who will tell their kids and siblings kids, and so on. They will all tell about the dissapointment of the results of the election. From Trump winning, to Bernie winning, to Issue 1 failing, it's pretty clear why this election will be one to remember. Mark my words! Spread it from next generation to the next! Thank you.

Me: "MAN the 2024 Election results was dissapointing!"

the electricity

That specific type of energy you unlock when you finally stop masking and people-pleasing. It's when you decide to reclaim the raw, messy, vibrant version of yourself that existed before society traumatized you into being boring. The exact opposite of feeling dead inside.

I just want the electricity back.
The current that ran through me
before I learned to fear the surge.

I am done with the polite smile,
the one that stops at the teeth.
I want the laugh that hurts.
I want to feel the weather
instead of just dressing for it.

I want to listen to the voice
I strangled into a whisper
just to keep the peace.

I don’t need perfect.
I just need mine.

The unapologetic,
vibrant,
messy version of me
who existed before the doubt set in.

She is coming back.
I am leaving the door unlocked.

I'm tired of performing for everyone else; I just need to find the electricity again.

Crony Elections

Electoral processes where the outcome is predetermined by elite networks, even if votes are counted and international observers are present. The forms of democracy are observed—candidates campaign, ballots are cast, results are announced—but the playing field is rigged through controlled media, selective enforcement of electoral laws, and the deep entanglement of political families with economic power. Voters get a choice, but the choices are all from the same club, funded by the same donors, and protected by the same legal system. Crony elections are the mechanism by which oligarchs launder their rule through the appearance of popular consent.

Example: "The opposition was allowed to run, but their ads were blocked, their rallies were raided, and their funding was frozen. Crony elections: the opposition can win, but only if the cronies let them."

Crony Electoralism

A political theory in practice: the reduction of democracy to elections alone, while ignoring everything else—participation, accountability, rule of law, civil society, economic justice. When elections become the sole measure of democracy, oligarchs can win cleanly and call themselves democratic, even as they dismantle the institutions that make democracy meaningful. Crony electoralism is the ideology that legitimizes crony democracy: as long as there is a vote, critics are told, the system is democratic, and any deeper critique is dismissed as anti-democratic.

Example: "When journalists asked about media censorship, the president replied: 'We have elections, don't we?' Crony electoralism: using the fact of voting to ignore everything else that makes democracy real."
