I think its important and great to plan ahead. Especially in times like this. And Im hoping they give us someone people will vote for this time. Because holy shit, almost anyone is better than this
But also Im not holding my breath. Im honestly not even sure if I’ll be in a camp or not. But either way even if we do have elections it will likely be in the same sense that Russia has elections.
I don’t find very much interesting about this conversation anymore. If it can even be called that. American politics is like scripted television drama. It’s quite fitting. Except it’s so predictable. It’s the same script on loop.
The system was already rigged, of course. Electoral college, absentee cancelations, felons disqualified. It was broken before so even if things stayed the same (which they won’t) it’ll still be broken.
I do expect elections to continue. Just much less honestly.
And what you said doesn’t even include the voter roll purges which as a citizen and voter of an actually democratic country is mind boggling that it’s a thing.
This whole discussion has been a fascinating read in the comments.
But does anyone really think we’re going to have another election? Much less a non-rigged election?

Yes, well have a next election. Not because our democracy is that strong, but because trump and Co are that weak
They will try to rig our next election, no doubt. I’m just confident theyll lose so bad there’s no rigging it
