That's assuming you even get a fair election again.

Is a fair election when a violent insurrectionist, a literal traitor to the republic, is allowed to run for office?

[–] voracitude 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, it's been broken; the original design wasn't bad, but they told us not to let a two party system happen and we did it anyway.

Yes it does, it has quite clear instructions in fact. People just aren't willing to do what's necessary to follow those instructions... Yet.
