    Also Democracy clearly exists in the U.S.A.

    It's a representative democracy, someone like Synopsis posting some utterly stupid statement about how "Everyone wants legalized marijuana but we don't have it" doesn't negate the fact that America is a democratic system.

    You voted for a representative who acts on behest of the people, however there are rules, regulations and process, and Synopsis, someone with a political science major essentially going "Well why doesn't he just DO X" when it might not actually be feasible or politically savy to do so is a real braindead take.

    But Synopsis is the only braindead conspiracy theorist allowed to post on this site with reckless abandon so ofc he makes that take

    Yes, of course. You're either a fascist or tankie if you don't. Or some crazy ass sortitionist.

    But, democracy in the U.S. is heavily, heavily, heavily flawed.

    In a representative democracy, the people elect officials to create and vote on laws, policies, and other matters of government on their behalf. (sounds like the usa to me)

    In this manner, representative democracy is the opposite of direct democracy, in which the people themselves vote on every law or policy considered at every level of government.

    it's non-existant

    we still have kings just no crowns
    we still have slaves just no chains
    we still have empires just no visual dictatorship

    everything from the non-objective news to the state of economy and from the poor getting poorer to the rich getting richer is proof of that

    A lot of posters in America get mad for sometimes legitimate reasons, but usually its just having a completely inadequate understanding of their own Countries' government.

    Joe Biden beat Bernie Sanders with 0 infrastructure in most States and less funding. He also beat Bloomberg who literally spent half a billion on the primary alone.

    And when we give people like Synopsis the reason behind these events, he gets angry that we don't buy into some bad faith conspiracy concerning a Democratic cabal that maliciously conspired to debunk the will of the people.

    You guys just like to make yourselves unnecessarily angry. You want to have your cake and eat it too. You guys love pretending that other people are stupid online and then wonder why people vote for utter s*** representatives like Joe Manchin, or how half the country voted for Donald Trump because you secretly think everyone is some hidden socialist just waiting to be activated. It's a weird level of arrogance where everyone is stupid but secretly agrees with you at the same time

    We tell you people voted for Biden because he garnered the endorsements of their representatives, was the former VP to the first Black president, and had high likability (He was favored to win prior) and then you guys get mad at us like we insulted your family with these objective descriptions of the US election.

    Tl;dr you guys need to grow up

    Synopsis is at least stable in his beliefs whether we like him or not

    while most people tend to switch sides and sell-out their dignity in the name of privilege

    Being stable in your beliefs isn't a good thing if your so rigid you delve into bad faith self defeatist conspiracy theories whenever things don't go your way.

    Synopsis is literally the left

    there's no ''bad faith'' and if you label anyone's opinion as such you're basically using em as stepping stones to prove you're right

    but again, every voice matters.

    Your entitled to your opinion like I'm to mine and synop is to his

    Ok????? I don't know why you are using this to defend Synopsis? Synopsis would tell you that the voice of right wing and/or capitalist defending posters does not matter and should be ignored.

    I repeat, you people need to be aware of the context of these conversations. You're using this to make an argument in defense of an individual who would clearly argue against the aforementioned position.
    Not to mention a lot of individuals would never let this line of thinking fly for individuals with bigoted beliefs. Especially if they engage in a public setting

    Also Synopsis will call me a DNC shill for saying the Democratic primary isn't rigged or not just immediately go to the first superficial attack on an individual in politics that he dislikes

    Yeah he is indeed bad faith

    I dunno synopsis that well but I understand what you're saying about how we shouldnt support that way of thinking and you're probably right

    but think this: what happens when you shut off a toxic person?
    answer: they believe they're right cause everyone's against them

    with that being said, let everyone say what they want to say and if society accepts that then that's just a reflection of it's ugly face we've seen time and time again

    I'm not defending or juding synop. I just think everyone has the right to say what they want to say
