US election process is a joke. Pretending otherwise is some sort of gaslighting that could backfire.

If 'one side' break the silent understanding of 'do not criticize our complex, convoluted and arcane election process', well, bad luck if 'the other side' defends it instead of agreeing there is a need to do something about it.

I don't like how about every question becomes some sort of thrench warfare around strawman extremes.
