US is not a democracy, it is a plutocracy, an oligarchy
Is any other country a democracy? I thought for it to be a democracy you needed “everyone” to vote for every law rather than electing representatives.
You're thinking of a direct democracy. The modern term is a catch all for everything from that to limited democracies that require things like land ownership to vote.
Yes.
Tucker Carlson, famous proponent of democracy.
You're foolin' yourself. We're living in a dictatorship! And how'd we get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
