Democracy is a process, not the candidate of choice you’re given. Even if there’s 10 fascist on the ballot, if the election process is not hindered in any way, it is democracy. So yes, democracy is on the ballot. The alternative is dictatorship, monarchy, or autocracy.
If you think the statement “democracy is on the ballot” is a lie, then let’s at least hear what’s in your mind, hmm OP?
Is it truly democracy if your only choice is between far right fascism and slightly less evil far right pro-genocide liberalism?
I hate fascism, but calling our two party system a democracy feels like a lie.
