Yeah, it's an extremely fragile system and it only takes a few dozen people out of 350 million to end democracy in this country.

- You only need a few dozen state reps in a few swing states to override the popular vote and choose their own electors.

- 51 senators to reject the election results.

- A rigged Supreme Court that could choose a case from a lower court related to elections and rule whatever they want.

We think we have a robust and stable democracy, but we're already halfway there in most of these events.
