Aww, my democracy is running fine bud, cause I'm not an Americunt. Besides, Donnie is not even the biggest threat to the US democracy. Their shitty two party system with both parties openly bought and paid for by oligarchs is a much more insidious threat.

Nazis aren't the biggest threat to democracy? Cool story, bro

Agreed! Not singling you at all, I made a comment that intended to be more a generalised dismay at the mindset of not voting for the opposition to facism because of high ground morality.

I agree on two party systems being more insidious against true democracy, but even so having half a country agree to such tyranny isn't something democratic processes can fix, only voter mobilization.
