    I'd rather have flawed democracy and a nor spotless record than no democracy and normalised human rights abuses

    you realize america does in fact abuse human rights correct?

    Yes but not as badly, and at least in america you can actually say what you're saying now. Good luck in China

    How do we not have democracy

    The US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite.

    So concludes a recent study by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin I Page.

    This is not news, you say.

    Perhaps, but the two professors have conducted exhaustive research to try to present data-driven support for this conclusion. Here's how they explain it:

    Multivariate a***ysis indicates that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

    it is true money is power.

    but america is still a democracy, you vote, and your vote counts.

    china doesnt even have that, it is dominated by a heavily nepotist and oligarchal single party

    Democracy and elections are not synonymous.

    In a way, the CPC is more accountable to the population because there is nobody to hide behind when s*** goes south.

    Democrats and Republicans can blame each other all day and people believe it.

    The US is not as democratic as you believe and regularly ranks low in democracy rankings.

    Even s*** like registering to vote is borderline retärded and exists practically only in the USA.

    A huge amount of black men aren't allowed to vote because of criminal charges mostly for d****.

    A stupid and needlessly complicated electoral system.

    Massive gerrymandering.

    Closing voting booths and slowing down mail ballots.

    Even if your threshold for democracy is an election, which is flat-out wrong, the US barely keeps up with other parliamentarian democracies.

    Chinese people overwhelmingly support their government, whether you like it or not. What gives the USA the right to switch out foreign governments? Didnt you guys cry all these years about Russian interference?
