Wow, a debate on Tuesday! Forgot all about the election for a while, it should be fun in two days, let me grab my popcorn. Crush him Joe.
 
FYI, your own definition of a functioning democracy currently includes:
  • stuffing ballot boxes with ballot papers for one canditate
  • misrecording/destroying votes for the other candidate
  • tampering with computer software/hardware for the same outcomes
Being carried out by a faceless, unelected bureaucracy.

Yeah but if it’s done by the left then it’s ok, if it’s done by the right then it’s a disgrace and shops should be burnt down. Perhaps people should just trust democracy and the people who vote....
 
“Trusting democracy” is complicated by the fact that one of the two main national American political parties don't like democracy because they feel it interferes with their liberty.

It’s not that true democracy interferes with their liberty. It’s that it interferes with their continued existence. The Republican Party is an ever shrinking minority, and appear to know that they really only have two choices for survival. Suppress votes on a massive scale, or moderate their platform. So far, they’ve chosen the former.
