Actually the roadblocks prevented a dismantling of democracy in the US. The electoral college sucks and isn't a protection. But the actual protections stopped Trump from taking over. You are just construing my argument in the worst light and joining it to an anti democratic institution like the electoral college. We both know the electoral college does more than determine eligibility.  It essentially selects the leader. It doesn't dictate who can run, it dictates who wins and Americans vote for the electors in the EC, not directly the president. A completely different thing from what I said. You could have pointed to BC NDP if you actually wanted a better example.

So, US has a roadblock to protect democracy, but because people you don't like get into power, you think it doesn't work. So you would need a system that prevents people you don't like from getting into power, to protect democracy, because everyone who doesn't think like you, are anti-democratic?

I don't like Joe Biden and he doesn't think like me...... so no. He is not anti-democratic. That's not what I said. Please don't say things without thinking it through and don't associate things I didn't say to me.
