  • I was thinking about it this morning

    I noticed how Western journalists talk about their own elections in a very nebulous manner, almost like the electoral process magically happens by itself, the election is organized by itself, the votes counted and tallied by themselves

    In the rare occasions where they do mention electoral authorities, it’s always in the form of “an electoral authority” or “a judge” or “a court,” and it’s always presented like they’re very disinterested about the process

    Meanwhile, in other countries, they love to emphasize the (big bad) electoral commission, the (big bad) election organizing by the (big bad) government, and the vote counting and tallying by the (big bad) “government-run electoral authority”
