    yeah I’m pretty sure that if america was actually democratic, meaning every citizen is able to vote, the republican party wouldn’t even exist anymore, since only privileged fuckheads vote for them

      All we would have to do is eliminate the electoral college and they’d never win another presidency. Yeah Trump won popular vote this time by 1.5% but the electoral college keeps people from voting.

      And really a lot of poor white people vote for Republicans too, against their best interest, for very sad reasons.

      But yes you are correct if this were a real democracy they wouldn’t stand a chance.
