Lots of dictatorships have elections. Elections alone aren’t a proof that anything else is happening.

Absolutely not. A two party system was barely nominally a form of democracy. Current government walks like a dictatorship and quacks like a dictatorship. They might hold a fake election one day like many of those do, but still no.

Simpsons also, a bit, iirc.

Not a bad trip. Funnily enough, DD is probably one of the few things I haven’t read yet. I probably started work cat’s cradle (pretty late).
