I am also upset by the lack of elections, but looking at the US politics from Hong Kong, I see a lot of similarities.

The attempts to silence and stigmatize opposition, to close opposition media outlets and deplatform them on social media, harassing advertisers to make sure they don't advertise with the opposition, and the media working with the government to promote some events or views and to bury some others — that all is painfully similar to Hong Kong.

You guys over in the US should take a closer look at that.
