I think it's been used as a pretense for some of the most heinous acts ever committed in human history. I think it legitimizes a lot of bad things. It's easily manipulated, and there are such enormous forces designed to do just that. It doesn't really stand for anything in itself. I'm not a "Churchill guy" but his quote about democracy being "the worst form of government except for all others" might be apt.

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

Stupid post considering Bloomberg got molly whopped and spent 500 million on his presidential campaign

Money is clearly not the sole denoting factor on who wins U.S. Elections and if you had any sense of context a***ysis you would realize 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

population/electoral votes = people per vote

39,560,000/55 = 719272.727

779,094/3 = 259698

this is also true

i think Bloomberg ran to make those who don’t pay attention to politics think “i’m choosing 1/5 of these guys” then when he dropped out & endorsed Biden, it was like “oh well i guess Biden has my vote now” (and same with Bootyjeg & everyone else)

by doing that, Biden’s odds of winning from casual voters were a lot higher than they would’ve been been if it started out as Biden vs. Bernie (50/50)
