You have no choice but to vote for the genocide enabler. It is the only way to save "democracy." The type of democracy where you have to support the abhorrent to keep out the truly monstrous and if you say you won't, a bunch of self important liberals will pretend it's all your fault and not the parade of geriatric ghouls the party has been nominating

Yes, isn't it terrible when democracy doesn't agree with you? The only TRULY democratic society is one where those pesky proles listen to those who know what's good for them, right?

Democracy doesn't work particularly well when the voters are uneducated or otherwise missinformed. That when the country starts doing things that are against its and its own citizens interest. Corruption, legal or otherwise, also contribute to making it disfunctional.

This argument is the justification for the Electoral College.

Really? I thought it was justification to reform and improve education.

So we're just coming out against democracy now when the proles aren't on our side, are we? Great. Glad to see this brave new form of leftism.
