But democracy and the voting process brought us Trump! It brought us genocide, it brought us child separation, it brought us the CIA, it brought us children in solitary confinement, it brought us the police force, it brought us Vietnam, it brought us nuking Japanese civilians, it brought us indigenous genocide, it brought us Flint, it brought us the highest rate of incarceration in the world over the last century.

What does destroying US democracy and US voting actually, materially, change?

the genocide filth that imho lasts >400years now has never been removed in the first place, i'ld guess it wasn't brought there by voting process, but it wasn't removed by it either.

Oh the genocide was absolutely a function of the republic qua republic. Elected representatives dealt with "the Indian problem" in various ways that garnered votes.
