    Who still believes the U.S. is a democracy? Seriously, you’d have to be a deluded nationalist not to see that this system has as little to do with democracy as elections in Russia do.

      I’m so tired of people still acting like everything is normal in the Untied States. After November, can the world finally acknowledge that the Untied States has been taken over by a fascist dictatorship?

      Who thinks they’re helping anything by positing democracy as a “yes” or “no” situation? Congratulations, you have no understanding of the fragile balance it has always been.

      They got their base last year to deride everyone who mentioned US democracy with “We’Re a rEpUbLiC!” I imagined it was for making the lack of any democracy the new normal.

      You’d have to participate in the democracy in a meaningful way. It’s not just waiting every 4 years to vote or attending an 8 hr protest/fundraiser
