Day 988, 05:16 • Published in Singapore Ireland

• by Flaco Jimenez

As a long term eSingaporean citizen I am concerned with the current state of our e-country.

I am not as concerned with who wins an election as I am in the fairness of the process and participation of interested parties. Allowing a minority of citizens to decide a single candidate to run for ePresident smacks of communism.

I am concerned with the threats enacted in the name of security as well. Blacklisting when someone does not tow the line as directed by those is sim power is not security it is totalitarianism. The mere possibility of PTO does not remove the right of self determination and free will.

This is a game and should be played for fun. The levels of nonsense enacted to "combat" PTO's are ludicrous and far overreaching. As such it has had one good effect.

I will run for the next Presidential elections on the single platform of dismantling any such totalitarian decrees and push forward the ratification of our Constitution to prohibit such actions from taking place in the future.

/end rant.

Wow, Flaco blowing the dust off his keyboard because he doesnt like a process that safeguards the nation from a potential PTO that the admins are clueless how to stop...

What you SHOULD be concerned and infuriated with his how poorly the Primaries turned out. Despite letting people know and asking people to vote only 20 people bothered to vote in a nation that used to have more active citizens.

El Presidente, surely I agree with you. However! I believe that a primary election could do very much help. Possibly not when it's arranged on such short notice, but if it is fully planned.
As Benjamin Franklin sai😛
"By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail"

Best luck in the next months elections El Presidente, You have my support! o7

I am concerned with the turn to communism.

Other than that not so much.

Most of our citizens are two clickers. Or four clickers whatever it takes now.

Also eUS citizens= fail.
