@GeePawHill I am so sure because I know how the system works, I watch it all the time, I know about the laws and the procedures and we have seen how they successfully work over and over.

And heck, if Trump could have turned off democracy he already would have. He was president already, and he utterly utterly fell on his face trying to get that election victory, he gave it his best shot, but the system is so solid, so firmly established that it swatted him away like a gnat.

Look at the events leading up to January 6th. We know how hard Trump worked to stay in office, but all of the mechanisms the US government has in place to protect democracy just made it an exercise in futility. There's just no way to get around that.

So no, democracy is not on the ballot. It literally cannot be since we have such strong legal frameworks preventing exactly that from happening.

The law matters. The laws protecting democracy most of all. And it's because we have such legal frameworks that we can say firmly that democracy cannot be on the ballot.

We need to support those laws by recognizing them. They won't go away if we talk like they're not there, but it doesn't help.
