Representative, Constitutional , Direct etc. what are your thoughts

regardless of my opinion on democracy itself, there’s no denying that it does not exist in the United States of America

How so?

Not my question btw but w/e ill bite

it’s an oligarchy/aristocracy

a candidate can’t run a campaign & get enough votes to win without spending billions of dollars

it’s not a democracy

Does this include local and states politics? The US is a pretty decentralized country with power split between many parties
So does this also apply to city, county and state or are we just talking federal

i don’t think i can speak on local politics with a blanket statement tbh, too many local governments

So is it a democracy or not

Thats why you dont speak out your ass for likes

Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich--that is the democracy of capitalist society.

How are they insignificant if their vote determines policy

uhm insignificant means small in this sense lmao

This doesnt make any sense

the word ur looking for is plutocracy

How does it not lol

No.

Explain it more

Whats your alternative

good luck with this one op

whats there to explain lol? in capitalist society, the rich and the policy have democracy, the rest of us just go along at their whims

edgy

i think number wise small. i think he's referencing what's often referred to as "the .01%" wealthiest individuals in the nation

I'm questioning it after seeing some stupid ass threads from this site

They get the same vote we do
They may have money to influence how a politician can vote but none of us here would vote for that person(Yang for an example)
Aoc is a representative of the interest of her district thats what she was voted to do just as all others
