Election crisis events spam
No idea why, but it plagues my democratic playthroughs EVERY SINGLE TIME, no matter what country I play, war always means game over.

This has been going on for about 6 months already.

Happens both with and without mods.
Happens across multiple devices.
I tried unsubscribing and deleting all the mods I had.
I tried reinstalling and verifying the game files.

I've read this could possibly happen because of:
Ruling party has low support.
Low-ish stability.
Waging war against another democratic nation.
Even when I use console to ensure these conditions are not met, the Election crisis event/s still keep happening every single day (or 7 if you ignore the pop-ups).

I find it hard to even launch the game now, its just so
demotivating.

Theres almost nothing to be found about this anywhere, nobody seems to have this issue.

I do not have high hopes anymore, but if anybody knows whats up, then please, let me know how to end this suffering.
Cheers.

I just ban Communism and Fascism as a democratic nation and put in advisor that boosts Democracy. Playing as a democracy can be pain so I just ban the Fascists and Communists asap.

That does not help, even when I am 100% democratic, the events will still happen because the other event "Government contested" will drain my political power and therefore I cannot afford to keep choosing the democratic choices (keep in mind this happens every single day) . . . I also get the "Fascist/Communists in the government" and "Democratic Parties in Minority" even when the democrats are at 100% . . . so I really do not know what I'm doing wrong.

I've never had that problem once I banned both Fascism and Communism, then again I do that asap as soon as I have the political power, there's also advisers who defend against ideological drift as well.

Yea, I am aware, and according to the wiki and my friends (nerds with 1k+ hours) I am doing nothing wrong.
The wiki says these events happen when elections happen (4 years I assume) and while you're at war , but here they happen every day.

Maybe you are letting the other ideologies get out of control, use the decisions like police raids and banning of ideologies as soon as you can, put someone who buff democracy in and elections should not be a problem.

Who are you playing as?

It sounds like you are playing a nation with political instability

Let me put it this way, this happens with EVERY nation I played, except the US and Greece.
Even with nations that do not start as democratic.
And yes, I am raiding and banning basically whenever I can.

I've had my friend stream his game to me through discord on multiple occasions and there really isn't anything different from my games, except he does not get those events, I get them the very moment I enter a war.

You should really take a save+log where this happens and post this on the Paradox forum.

Specially after you have removed all mods and verified that your checksum is correct.

The log more than the save file should contain some information on why this is happening.

I guess it's the only option I have, I found a reddit thread with "1" guy having this issue, but people are memeing it rather than helping. (yes I know that's all reddit does)

The paradox forum are league ahead for a bug report.
You can directly attach some file. A lot of players on them have a more in-depth experience and the dev check them and flag them accordingly.

In a Democracy, Decisions are your friend.
In countries that do not have the USA Congress mechanic, use them.
In the USA use your lobbying decisions (Large or Small).

sounds like a bug from a mod or something.

probably have to physically delete you mod folder instead of just unsubbing

Still having this issue on my side, 2 different playthroughs.
Literally makes the game unplayable if I play as a democracy.
Found a command that works ish decision.nochecks
Just dont click anything and minimize it
