Lol no. Even the most disastrous military run regimes have multiple parties and dedicated seats for minorities.
Case in point: Pakistan
Everyone else looks at the American voting system like some haunted house with our dual parties, confusing electoral college for congress, first past the goal system, national polls vs gerrymandered zones, and that one time the SC somehow got to decide elections.
Oh and election day is still not a national holiday lmao.
I can easily count the number of people that I know who understand the electoral college.
Anyway, I'm not sure about the users here, but Whitmer literally just whined about people voting uncommitted in the primary because it was bad publicity for Biden. Like yeah, no shit that's the point. We're voicing our disapproval in poll that has nothing to do with the actual elections.
