@thomasfuchs I feel like that's an optimistic take on what he's saying there.
But also, it's WAY too nuanced. Like "you still can vote, but you won't have to, because I'll make sure that votes are just for show, and I'll make sure the good choices are made regardless", that's asking a lot of people to read that into what he said.
"You won't have to vote anymore because there won't BE voting anymore because I'm just going to assume direct control" is a MUCH more direct and easier translation.
