Damn thing's busted. If you can imagine an administration that acts like this ever peacefully ceding a lost election, you're crazier than me.

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?

The American system is broken by design

[–] voracitude 2 points 3 days 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.

The original does not protect against an entire party determined to undermine it, imo

isnt that what the "overthrow the government" part is for?
Not like we could actually do that anyways 🙃

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.
