Fascist Italy also held "elections", like China and Russia do today. "Elections" is not a magic concept. Free elections, on the other hand...

  Sure, but we're discussing what you said: > Why worry about how the midterms, if you can create a situation where elections cannot be held at all...

    The two concepts are not exclusive. You could have "elections" but with heavy ICE presence at the polls "to guarantee security", effectively ensuring only the "right kind of people" will vote. That's not free elections.

      That's fine. You didn't say "free elections", you said "elections not held at all". There's a difference.

        that's a pedantic and fundamentally useless distinction in practice.
