I'm not saying it's definitely true but this is pretty convincing. The author lists their credentials at the end of the article.

Here's a preview- a shit ton of mail-in ballots were disqualified. If you are black your mail-in ballot was nine times more likely to be trashed than a white person's.

yeah I'm pretty sure that if america was actually democratic, meaning every citizen is able to vote, the republican party wouldn't even exist anymore, since only privileged fuckheads vote for them

All we would have to do is eliminate the electoral college and they'd never win another presidency. Yeah Trump won popular vote this time by 1.5% but the electoral college keeps people from voting.

And really a lot of poor white people vote for Republicans too, against their best interest, for very sad reasons.

But yes you are correct if this were a real democracy they wouldn't stand a chance.
