The USA is not a federal democracy. Some states are democracies where there are accurate vote counts. Other states are not. When the federal officials come from that union, then the cheats win.
Not that it matters much; the USA is too oligarch driven to have fair campaigning, even if all the votes were counted accurately. And not much would change. Most of the same people would still be in control. Social safety nets would be few, and corruption would still increase steadily.
Tbf hexbear is kinda too ironypoisoned and insular in our culture for any kind of outside agitation/propaganda/outreach. Not that I’m any better at this, mind
I intended for the joke to be that the judge is essentially suggesting that the solution is that the voters should trust the politicans who are trying to win their favor for sincere reasons, and not trust the ones who are secretly trying to exploit them.

I’m not good at it either. But hexbear is still a valuable resource, even if a passive one.
It reminds me of being gay in the Deep South decades ago, even insular resources were so important, even if they did not do activism
