We’ve never cancelled an election, not even during the first Civil War, so we will NEVER accept any excuses for cancelling elections, not military actions, not civil unrest, not nothin’.

Also because it’s far easier to justify suspending democratic processes by pointing at an ongoing military crisis and making emergency laws.
