    You are saying one side is “bad” severely downplaying the danger.

    I dont have founding fathers. No idea wtf you are on about.

    This was a vote between fascism or the continuous existence of democracy. A flawed democracy, sure. One that needs to be reworked. But still better than full on fascism.

    I am glad that you, as well as I, will have another election. Americans wont. Because of maga voters and non voters.

      My point, once again, is that this is inevitable with any two party system. At the point it comes down to the choice between:

      1. The ruling party
      2. Literal Fascists

      You no longer have a democracy, flawed or otherwise. You have authoritarianism.

        Our democracy is still relatively strong even if the fascists get stronger. But america has no more democracy after this election. Correct.

        If the non voters would have picked democracy there would have been a chance to get back to a real vote next time. Still only 2 parties which sucks but at least away from fascism. Now there wont be another election due to non voters.

          america has no more democracy after this election.

          America did not have a democracy going into this election, just a choice of the status quo and fascism. And the people picked fascism, by voting or staying home that choice was made.

            America had a democracy. A flawed democracy. But its better than literal fascism and non voters picked the fascism. So they deserve whats going to happen to them
