    f you had read the rest of my first line, the American electoral system has always been broken.

    How does anything I write indicate otherwise? It’s not Trump that broke democracy (yet), he is merely exploiting the fact that it’s broken.

    so the American public had a choice between conservatism and fascism.

    Conservatism that at least makes room for social democrats like Bernie AOC and Ilhan Omar, and over that they chose fascism.

    I don’t think there’s much point in arguing further, seems to me you are making a lot of false equivalences, and I have no patience for arguing against that.

      You called it a flawed democracy. I said that it’s not flawed it is broken. It’s not democratic. The people do not get what they want.

      The democratic party “leaves room” for leftists like Bernie Sanders and AOC, in that they can hang around and talk sometimes. Only as long as they have no actual power and can’t affect change in any way.

      I wasn’t aware we were arguing. You didn’t respond to 95% of what I said. And that’s fine, but you can just say that you can’t or don’t want to consider anything I’ve said. You don’t have to say that I’m “making a lot of false equivalences”? I’m not really sure what you’re referring to by that.
