Legitimacy comes from the consent of the governed.
If the governed stop voting, the legitimacy goes away.
Drag wonders if you have heard of monarchies. You don’t want legitimacy, does that mean monarchy is better than capitalist democracy?
Have you not noticed how there aren’t a lot of monarchies these days? That’s what happens when a government is illegitimate. The governed decide to take matters into their own hands when they no longer respect their government’s legitimacy.
I also wonder if you’ve ever noticed how dictatorships still have sham elections where they give themselves 90%+ of the vote?
Drag is not very smart, so drag can’t extrapolate your comment into a specific answer to drag’s question. Drag would like a yes or no, to whether you would rather America be a monarchy than its current electoral system.
