In that case, do you agree a one-party state, run by Democrats, would be "correct"?

In the context of election security, yes.

The "correct" setup is a loyal opposition during time out of power.

In the absence of that, a one-party state is probably better than a two-party state in which one party is actively trying to burn the system down.

You're talking about the mostly peaceful protesters who tried to burn down the Federal building in Portland for over 200 nights, right? Sedition and insurrection.

If you're pissing your pants in fear of people who fail to do something 200 nights in a row, I'd argue that says a lot more about you than it does them.

When did HN become so bad at false equivalencies?

Can I say Singletons are not recommended but also agree that there are contexts where it's an "okay enough" option? Singetons are never the "best option" in modern software, but it's not the "worst" in every case either.

Now, filling your code base with incorrect calculations: pretty much always a bad idea.

In the context of election security, absolutely.

After the wild amount of disproven claims made by republicans about election security, I don't trust them at all.
