    That’s all that matters if you’re looking at culpability. It’s not all that matters if you’re looking at whether the system is democratic.

    You literally just tried to argue that Americans wouldn’t be culpable if the system isn’t democratic. You keep trying to equate these two separate questions. I keep trying to tell you that the system is undemocratic and Americans are culpable.

    There is such a thing as an undemocratic election. If you vote for a bad person in an undemocratic election, you are morally culpable for their actions. That fact doesn’t somehow imply that the undemocratic election is somehow a democratic election.

      Like Ive said numerous times before, I don’t care if the system meets your standards of purity. All I care about is if the election was democratic enough to hold the American people responsible. And that doesn’t even seem to be something you are disagreeing with at this point. You’re just getting your panties in a twist because “America” and “democracy” seems to be some sort of tankie trigger word for you

        I guess I don’t understand what you’re doing in a “fuck the USA” comm if criticizing the American political system makes me a “tankie” in your eyes.

            All I did is state objective facts about China. Sorry if reality has a tankie bias.

              Sure thing bud. Maybe for your next objective reality-based poll you could poll some Uyghurs
