    In what world is the United States a democracy?

    Nothing the people actually want ever happens.

    If it did, they wouldn’t all end up bankrupt at the end of their lives.

      The US is obviously a dictatorship of capital, but a lot of people continue calling it a democracy. And these people then have to be made to realize they make themselves directly complicit in the crimes the state commits.

          If the US commits a nuclear genocide against Iran and the rest of the world just looks on, then we’re going to be living in a horrific world indeed.

        This is the logical equivalent of charging a serial killer’s parents with the murders their child committed. He ran and was elected on promises like fixing affordability and that he is the “most peaceful president”.

        Last month was the largest protest in the history of the nation against Trump. His approval rating is at 33%. Multiple impeachments have shown that is nearly impossible to legally remove a sitting president.

        If you want you can blame Trump, his cabinet, the legislative/executive/judicial systems, right wing media/influencers, and then the voters (in that order).

        Edit: oh, nevermind, I see you are a propagandist. You aren’t interesting in facts/evidence/reason/pragmatics, only echoing messages that fit your narrative. Congrats, you are the same as Trump.

          No, you’re not children, you are grown ass adults. You have a direct responsibility for what your country does. None of the theatre like these protests and approval ratings accomplish anything. If you can’t remove a mad kind within the framework of the system, then your whole system is broken and needs to be torn down. I blame the American public who allows the horrors that the Burger Reich commits around the world to continue. You are complicit.

        If both parties promise the same thing, then it isn’t really a democracy, it’s a single party dictatorship with multiple personality disorder.
