It will be the end of democracy. Just like last time. Remember when democracy died?

Most presidential elections have had some kind of doomsayers. This particular election has a candidate that supported (supposedly indirectly) an insurrection, stated it’s ok to execute political opponents, and has openly said some very nazi like things. This election is a bit different than the others.

Then the left puts up a weak candidate, again, and says eat that shit sandwich, so I get the frustration.

Don’t worry, the democrats will yet again cheat enough to make sure they win and in doing so, save democracy. Cause god forbid people would decide who they want for president. That’s not how you save democracy !

What left?

All i see is fascist capitalism vs narcist capitalism. Neither cares what the people actually want. But yeah one is significantly worse… which means reasonable people have only one option to vote. Freedom be damned.

I can keep slapping your face and insulting your family, or I can kick you in the nuts and hit you with a baseball bat. You pick America

Democracy is more of a sliding scale than a true or false. The US has had significant democratic decline during the last decade or two, and it was definitely not helped by Trump.

Slide far enough and well, that’s the end of democracy.
