The last free and fair elections were in 2016 and Brexit, after that shocker everyone opted for a 'managed' democracy.
It is all managed either before voting with international agreements, (social-)media propaganda and by trying to harass, bully and threaten candidates or after the outcome of the actual vote by blocking the winner from implementing his new policies or simply denying him taking office (see Geert Wilders).
I'm curious what will happen in the UK. My bet is labour and the tories will govern together if that is the only way to keep the 'third parties' out of power.
Someone like RFK Jr. , who wants to dismantle the military industrial complex in favor of humanitarian pursuits will never be allowed near the White House.
They won't debate him, they won't invite him and whenever he gets some traction the hit pieces appear.
I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing but its certainly not Democratic.
