Honestly i think every election in the west is more or less fraudulent

I think that's my takeaway as well. Especially after you consider the degree to which money runs politics anyways and how complicit the media is in covering up and not reporting on the fraud. Basically the elites gayop/finkelthink you into a fake election where the candidates won't do anything differently if elected - and if by chance a dangerous enough candidate makes it far enough they'll use any trick in the book to make sure that they don't get elected.

Most western countries are corrupt oligopolies oligarchies masquerading as democracy
