Democracy (if we ever even had it) died a long time ago.
No, Democracy isn’t dead. Its wounded and limping, but its still alive enough at the moment. Otherwise why would the billionaires and other assholes be trying so hard to discourage voting? It does matter if you vote. Fashy types want people to think it doesnt matter and sit it out.
I never sit it out. I don’t believe it makes any difference, but I do it anyway. Our leaders are all “fashy types” no matter what. I’ve been voting and active since '96 and every president has been a war criminal. Every single time, I watch people pretend like one is the devil, and the other is an earnest agent of good. They’re always both the devil.
I haven’t had internet access for a bit now. What happened?
“Democracy dies in broad daylight” ? No; Fascism is born in silence.
