    Have you not noticed how there aren’t a lot of monarchies these days? That’s what happens when a government is illegitimate. The governed decide to take matters into their own hands when they no longer respect their government’s legitimacy.

    I also wonder if you’ve ever noticed how dictatorships still have sham elections where they give themselves 90%+ of the vote?

      Drag is not very smart, so drag can’t extrapolate your comment into a specific answer to drag’s question. Drag would like a yes or no, to whether you would rather America be a monarchy than its current electoral system.

        1. No

        2. That’s literally impossible, you don’t understand how monarchs function or why they declined. Learn some fucking history.

          Drag agrees with you. A capitalist false democracy is bad, but any bit of power in the hands of the workers is better than the alternative. That’s why our vote is important.
