    Your democracy is at stake and you are yelling that we should do democracy harder instead of attempting to keep the democracy destroyer out of office. Carry on though and personally insult me like you did in your last comment.

    I’m not American so I don’t have a dog in this fight.

      You’re not American and don’t have a dog in the fight, but you want to explain the electoral system that I participate in to me. Not sure where I insulted you or yelled (no exclamation point or all-caps/bolded words in sight), so it seems like you’ve completely misinterpreted my post. I didn’t say we should “democracy harder”, I said we don’t have a democracy and that it’s just a facade where people get really passionate about voting for one of only two viable options. Kind of hard to save something that doesn’t exist. Will things get worse under republicans? Absolutely. Will democrats do anything about that? Absolutely not. They’ll keep the office warm until the next time republicans inevitably win back power in this crooked system.
