Every two days a new thread with hundreds of comments of a bunch of liberals doing the same fucking talking points about the election. It doesn't even fucking matter but so many people are just so enthusiastic to be hand-wringing or smug or whatever their preferred flavor of insufferable is, presumably mostly because they've been acculturated by liberal media to the idea that Trump is the apocalypse despite the fact that we already saw how Trump bumbles his way through a term!
It's just so bad, you can't talk about it anywhere there without someone leaping down your throat to say the same shit you've heard before.
The US is a democracy in the same way as when only land-owning, white men could vote, or as Israel is now.
I'm sure the people who it benefits love to call it "democracy".

You should have learned by now that representative democracy is not a meaningful practice, given its track record of almost no successes.
Also, you literally do coups - including against democratically elected governments - all the time, and don't have an issue with that.
The implication behind "democracy" is an equal vote democracy, which the US is objectively not. Which was the whole point of my comment. You can call us a democracy in the same way a slave state is a democracy if you're white. Our representative elections are not democratic, and individual wealthy people have an outsized vote over millions of people.
You didn't understand what I was saying, are too much of a moron to understand that, and think that it's me who isn't smart enough.
I would ask you, "when was the last time you voted for a policy and got it?" which would be "never" for me, but I don't know your politics, so I'll just point out that 70% of Americans want single-payer healthcare but most politicians side with the insurance companies for some mysterious reason, and there's nothing we can do about it as an electorate because our only option is to vote "lesser evil" every few years or boycott the elections and watch other people vote lesser evil.
If you've ever heard of ALEC, then you should already know exactly who this "representative" "democracy" functionally represents.
