      My determination is if we are aloud to vote for a president in 2028, we at least have the appearance of a democracy. That would be the nail in the coffin.

        aloud to vote

        Well, we don’t shout anymore.

        We don’t push, either, as it’s a quick thing and it’s a little impolite. But our case - Canada - is different as we’re still walking to some gym or hall, standing in the 10-min queue, marking paper ballots with pencil, and getting it all done in a day.

      I mean, not like it used to be or should be. But elections aren’t actually cancelled yet. Though they becoming increasingly predetermined with the flood gates being opened for blatant partisan gerrymandering and soon, likely, the neutering of the Voting Rights Act, so… not exactly long for this world.
