      These days, if you are not voting for an independent, you’re guaranteed to not have representation.

      This is a bullshit, false equivocation.

      You mean … KNOWINGLY being able to cede control to a dictatorial power is a democratic freedom.

      Coercing the public and doing things behind complicated legal and political jargon and systems that very few can understand is not an open democratic system.
