    To be fair, the people didn’t vote for the right person last time and that was a completely free election. Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms of government…

      Our democracy was low quality to begin with because of the electoral college creating a two party system. Many countries have things like referendums and proportional voting. Any pushback to trump that isn’t fundamentally compromised and shortsighted will campaign on improving democracy. Unfortunately we have the democrats.

      There hasn’t ever been a real democracy in America. Only by comparison to obvious autocracies can you call it a democracy here.
