Wikipedia is an aggregate of "reliable sources" (read: left wing media outlets) and as such cannot be trusted as a source of fact in political matters. My spin is that I don't trust most of the claims made in the article.
For the sake of argument I will assume the article is entirely accurate. I don't care overmuch, honestly. I am not the biggest fan of democracy in general. It doesn't seem to work very well. China is running circles around us and they are not worried about voting for parties.
- microsoftedging 8mo agoThis is certainly a take, but to each their own. > I am not the biggest fan of democracy in general So fraud is an acceptable vehicle to uproot it?
- eudamoniac 8mo agoThere is literally no legal vehicle to uproot it, so, sure. If the law gets in the way of arriving at a functioning government, then breaking the law is what needs to happen. Not that I think what we have now is "functioning" either, but the act of subversion itself is not a big issue for me. Trump's stupid actions are an issue for me, but not so much the legality of them; if he were illegally improving the country that would be welcome.

- kmacleod 8mo agoSmall nit, as a legal vehicle, the constitution allows itself to be entirely replaced.
