    End which democracy? We don’t have a democracy if my only choice is deciding between two genocidal maniacs

      And the electoral college can overrule your vote.

      I believe so called democracies around the world are a farce but the US’ “democracy” is so shameless about how they do it that Im surprised most people doesnt seem to realize.

        It’s a horrible system, yeah. When people tell me I “have no choice” but to vote for a candidate like Biden, I don’t think they have a shred of self awareness. They’re basically admitting that this is a blatantly undemocratic system. I start to think that they just don’t really care about using people like immigrants or Palestinians as political pawns, and then it makes me feel like maybe the entire human race is simply awful.
