"I can't believe anyone would vote for Trump," says smug Canadian man planning to vote for Poilievre (thebeaverton.com)

OTTAWA – A smug man from Canada wasted no time this morning chastising Americans for re-electing terrifying liar and felon Donald Trump, despite the fact that he plans to vote for terrifying liar and asshole Pierre Poilievre in the next Canadian election.

Matt Hunter, a 36-year-old barista, took time away from attending a Poilievre rally to rant about how stupid Americans were for falling for Trump’s fascist bullshit.

“I just can’t believe that someone could look at a petty asshole running on slogans, lies, and faux outrage and think, ‘Yeah, this guy will be good for the country,’” Hunter laughed, taking a quick second to repost an “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, Stop the Crime” tweet on X. “It makes no sense. Luckily we up here in Canada have more common sense. Pierre says so.”

“When Poilievre becomes Prime Minister next year, he’s gonna stand up to Trump. They’re so different in ways that I can’t even describe. Don’t even ask me what those ways are. Just trust me, bro. He’ll bring Canada home again.”

And any researcher who is advocating for the paper trail should trivially realize that soon as you add that, then you literally have the system we have today with counting machines and we dont need to invite all the issues with electronic voting.

As i said take it from people who actually write software as a career. We're literally telling you its not worth the effort/risks.

It'd be prohibitively expensive and borderline impossible due the fact you'd need to audit hundreds of millions of lines of code.

We're literally telling you to not pay us to do that work because its a bad idea.

As I do... but I'd rather not take it from software engineers because we are not experts. I'd rather listen to real experts, the folks who research this topic as their career.

Noted.

smile then you're simply clueless. Send me your sources I'll tear down your supposed experts if it gets you to stop spreading this nonsense

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Interesting. Which claim would you be interested in reading the sources?

Anyone you think is an expert and has made claims about electronic voting being a good idea 😂. I cant refute your nonsense without knowing what you are seeing and thinking. We'd just continuely talk past each other.

“good idea” is subjective and unspecific language so it doesn’t make sense to find sources for it. Can you just quote specific sentence I said that you would like to refute as “nonsense”?

Na we're done. There isnt anything to discuss at this point. Ive asserted the entire idea is bunk and you've asserted without evidence that 'expert researchers' say it isnt but dont have any sources.
