What difference did it even make? Why didn't they just say, here's your new president Kamala hand picked by Xi, and you can't do anything about it.
I mean they couldn't have made the fraud more obvious. We all know there's fraud. The courts know there's fraud. The military knows there's fraud and they do nothing.
I don't think anyone would do anything anyway if they skipped the election bullshit, because this couldn't be more obvious.
So why go through all the pretending and play acting?
I just don't see the purpose. Just a bunch of complicated steps to install the person the originally wanted against the will of the people. Even if we're content with our lives, even if we're not living in complete poverty we are still living under an illegitimate government. An installed tyrant, and now with all the branches of government in his favor, someone with essentially all the power of government at his disposal, a dictator.
