    Don’t forget Trump’s threats. If you don’t vote now, you may not get another chance for a while.

        Democracy is always one vote away from death. Sometimes there are just a lot more folks voting for a dangerous candidate.

          You misunderstand, I’m trying to point out that a “Democracy” that offers only the illusion of choice is anything but.

          There’s nothing anti-democratic about having a “dangerous” option on the ballot, but if there’s only one “safe” candidate then there is no real choice to be made and democracy is impossible.
