But somehow along the way, your opponent has been hacking the system unbeknownst to you gathering allies who are also willing to hack the system in their favor. Now that you're aware of what's going on, you've been gathering allies of your own. So now this is a completely different game, but there are a few problems.

Will it count for something? It feels like it's the only thing I can do is to vote, and it feels like a helpless place. And to see the corrupted, broken system be further corroded without a hesitation. It seems it's hard to wrap your head around. I mean, in one respect, I can go back and look at history in other countries as well and see what happened, how things played out. You know, the dominoes
