The linked thread by David Roberts is worth reading.
I'll check it out, but yes - when a candidate says 'Democracy leads to socialism and must be defeated' I really do think we need to not allow these people on ballots - if they do not believe in voting, then they have no business trying to get votes.

Of course now I can't find it.

But the US has a real problem with corporations [including the ones running MSM] care more about not paying taxes and so apparently even having the GOP attack them doesn't seem to make a difference. So, MSM won't say anything and haven't for decades now. Its all about money and never about truth. You want truth in US news, you go to media outside of the US, or comedians like Colbert and Noah.

Contemporary fascists like Orbán , Putin and Erdogan believe in voting, all right, so long as they've rigged the rules to the extent that they always win and the elections change nothing.

The US Republicans look at Hungary and like what they see,.

A bit like our very own Boris and requiring ID documents to cast your vote...
