      Drag wonders if you have heard of monarchies. You don’t want legitimacy, does that mean monarchy is better than capitalist democracy?

        Have you not noticed how there aren’t a lot of monarchies these days? That’s what happens when a government is illegitimate. The governed decide to take matters into their own hands when they no longer respect their government’s legitimacy.

        I also wonder if you’ve ever noticed how dictatorships still have sham elections where they give themselves 90%+ of the vote?

          Drag is not very smart, so drag can’t extrapolate your comment into a specific answer to drag’s question. Drag would like a yes or no, to whether you would rather America be a monarchy than its current electoral system.

            1. No

            2. That’s literally impossible, you don’t understand how monarchs function or why they declined. Learn some fucking history.
