A 1 to 1 vote to citizen ratio that is the actual determining factor in decision making, the electoral college alone completely destroys any argument for the US being a democracy just by existing, and we’ve had that bullshit running since day one
Incorrect, fixed definitions don’t stay fixed forever, that doesn’t mean they aren’t fixed right now. Words mean things, if a word changes meaning in a generation or two or five it’ll mean fuck all for you right here and now.
The US is not a democracy at all and never was. It was arguably at various points in time a representative republic, not a particularly good one but that’s not part of the definition.
I don’t care what you think, I know you’re using the term loosely that’s my point, fucking duh
Just because they’re polite doesn’t mean they’re not wrong, and if they can’t handle being told so then your talking with them isn’t going to get anything done anyway
Literally all communication depends on how you define the terms you use, that’s the whole point of having fixed definitions for words, and the US absolutely does not fit any reasonable definition of a democracy
The second one
The US has never been a democracy, we’ve never been a particularly equitable representative republic either and our government was designed this way on purpose
Because none of those other people want to. The only reason they even allow Bernie to do as much as he does is to placate progressive liberals, if they didn’t folks might start figuring out that reform doesn’t work.
If Bernie fucking Sanders is too far left for you then you’re definitely part of the problem
Lol you’re a fucking joke, try harder hasbara
The US is not better than China, and there’s absolutely no evidence for anything close to a genocide in Xinjiang, if there was then the UN investigatiors sent specifically to find it would probably have found it
There are exactly zero people “calling everyone nazis”, this is not a real problem
