Elections now bad according to media?
Two articles on the same day telling us elections are bad. Coincidence? Why? This isn’t about the articles but the headlines.

Are these trial balloons? Are these bastions of liberal media preparing Americans for the idea of canceling elections?

Why did the New York Times change its headline? Did the DNC and RNC tell them they were being too obvious?

Headline for NY Times guest essay changed after originally claiming 'Elections are bad for democracy’

Why is the headline important? 80% of people only read the headline.

The leftists want a dictatorship like in Cuba or North Korea. That's why I say democracy leads to dictatorship

Yeah, they're right.

We should just have our "elites" decide who is in power and make our decisions for us. Great idea.

That’s exactly what they want. A one party system where the one candidate gets all the votes. Yet they have the nerve to call conservatives fascists.

Most of the Left lacks the historical perspective to realize the tactics this administration has unleashed on the American people has more in common with fascism, communism and socialism than liberalism.
