gollark: Computerized voting: because computer systems never have big security problems, and trusting elections to closed source voting machines is totally fine!
gollark: I'm not sure why the presidential candidates' age needs to be brought into this when they all seem bad in other ways anyway.
gollark: That would make sense.
gollark: I'm not hip and with it (yo) when it comes to all these... generation name things? What's a "doomer"?
