    Why do we keep referring to it as a democracy?

    Because influence ≠ votes. It’s a diseased democracy, plagued by capitalism, but we are not yet at the point where billionaires can simply buy Electoral College votes. If governance was just at the whims of the rich, why would they work so hard to suppress voting?

    There’s not much time left before the next election. Maybe take a break for your mental health, eh? Most people probably already know how they’re going to vote, anyway.
