      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.

          I’m not dying on this hill. I encourage you to vote and help us gain a little distance from the failed state, however small.
