I get what you meant but what you’re proposing is just losing democracy all at once vs bit by bit. At least one option gives us more time to find a solution. This isn’t just a philosophical question for a lot of people, maybe it can be for you and that’s great, I’m glad you aren’t concerned about a Trump presidency.
There’s probably a microsoft engineer out there somewhere sitting in a cubical who has the solution already written and tested and they just can’t figure out how to send it to their boss. They’ve tried outlook, teams, github, skype, and even one drive but they’re all so broken that it may just be faster to print the code out and mail it.
