    You know, they had elections in the soviet union. And you had two options, vote for the candidate(there was only one) and spoil the ballot(not an official option, clearly).

    If enough people spoiled the ballot, a new candidate could be indroduced, but this is infrequent and irrelevant.

    Riddle me this, why have elections if you have only one candidate on the ballot? What is the point of having mock elections in dictatorships, with fake numbers?

      Cool, but fun fact, we only may have just become a dictator ship with trump. Before that at least, we weren’t one. You’re ignoring primaries.
