As the late David Graeber emphasised, elections are not democratic, they are aristocratic. A truly democratic way of appointing leaders is via a lottery. The Presidential election is all about two elite candidates going around spruiking their noble lineage and exclusive qualities for the top job. There is nothing democratic about those who vie for the presidency of the United States. It take enormous ums of money and bucket loads of influence to even get a start in this contest. It is much more kingly than democratic. Therefore, the very idea of Presidential immunity is deeply disturbing.
