Democrats believe they have a “mandate from the masses”.

Elections to them are a “bourgeois” thing.

[Ohioan]

Democrats do not really believe they have a mandate. They simply do not accept the idea that there has to be a legitimate basis for the exercise of power. It is simply the "end justifies any means" standard that rationalized the Communist & Nazi tyrannies.

"Elections to them are a “bourgeois” thing."

They're not that ideological anymore, it's an unnecessary expense.

They know they need to tolerate elections as smoke and mirrors to keep the "little people" from realizing that the entire system is rigged to avoid having the "little people" wake up, so they tolerate them.
