There's the old saying: "if voting actually did anything, they would make it illegal"

I don't necessarily disagree with you though. I find it interesting that we had an election in the middle of a civil war. I don't see that happening today.

I wonder how people would react to suspended elections. If it was liberals suspending elections, there would be a double January 6th type event. Libs let the parliamentarian tell them no and nothing happens because of civility™. I haven't had representation my whole life, so I don't think I'll notice a difference.

I kind of hate that saying, because for a lot of people voting literally is illegal.

I wonder how people would react to suspended elections.

Liberals will scream "how dare you sir!" and then do nothing.

I hope normal people will actually be agitated to action, though.
