Btw just to put it in perspective, imagine if every US congress person was elected by state legislature, and also you dont get to vote for state legislators either, your city council gets to do that and wait im not done yet, your specific district of the city have delegates, those delegates are the only people you can directly vote for.
Your District Delegates elect city council, they elect state legislature, then they elect congress.
And also all candidates have to be approved by US Congress’s Committee on elections (which is only a subset of all the members, not the entire membership) before being able to run.
And then Congress elects the president, whom gets to appoint governors and mayors.
I mean would that even be democracy anymore or just a kafkaesque machine.

6-10 million dead is just the cost of doing business. Nothing to see here.
And allowing people to speak truth to power is dangerous. You gotta suppress the people’s voices or they might get the idea they can think for themselves. They might even say that 6-10 million dead countrymen means you aren’t doing a good job. Can’t allow that, nope nope.
By the way, this totally isn’t the kind of behavior and messaging that would come from a dictatorship. That’s categorically impossible because I say so.
Words of the absolutely deranged.

“People died but numbers went up” is the most capitalist-brained shit and it’s wild they can’t see that.
