      The only legal mechanism for holding power accountable is the vote. Once that’s taken away, you either accept subjugation or you don’t. But the latter isn’t legal and that doesn’t sit right with a lot of folks.

      All that kinda went down the drain with “Russia, if you’re listening.” They’ve forced us to rely on the very voting mechanisms they seek to undermine.
