    How is the United States not a democracy?

      (1)In a democracy the people elect a representative of their ideology to govern them in fair elections

      (2)Both parties in the US in the 21st century start wars on foreign countries, lie about policies, submit to corrupt lobbying

      (3)Both parties in the US are not representative of the people of the US

      (4)The US is not a democracy

      Which of these is wrong?

        (4) because both parties are elected to power by voters

          When the “good” party eschews primaries because they cannot abide giving the people an opportunity to vote against genocide, that’s only democracy to people who like genocide.

            You do realise that there are more than two parties right?

              Suggest voting for a third and watch what happens.

                Most Americans support genocide unfortunately.

                  And most genocide supporters will never vote for a democrat. Chasing them to the right and doing what they want alienates voters you can actually get.

                    Voters you can actually get aren’t enough to win elections.

          Trump won because the billionaires who own this country saw an unprecedented opportunity, and in no small part because of the “pied piper” strategy that Hillary and the corporate dems thought would ensure an easy win

            Trump won in 2024 because he was the candidate who got the highest number of votes. Votes that mattered btw.

                  Telling your base to eat shit has consequences.
