The ~~2004 2008 2012 2016 2020 2024~~ election is the most important election of our lives. Democracy is at stake and we need to hold our noses and vote for the lesser evil.
Pretending like our elections are currently normal as usual is absurd, we literally had a coup attempt for the 2020 election.
Yes, the 2024 election has democracy on the ballot and it isn't even a controversial statement to say so.
Lol

Not sure why the lol, I totally agree with this. US democracy has flaws that should be addressed, big ones being gerrymandering, electoral college (which will eventually go away due to NPVIC), and our judicial system.
Recent events have highlighted on a national stage weaknesses that must be fixed. Let's get to work instead of throwing in the towel and allowing fascism to rise.
