  • People who believe in 250 years of democracy enable systemic racism, patriarchy, etc.

    Libs, please grow up.

    • Democracy is when you prohibit everybody but voting except rich white slave owners!

      Reminder that our founding fathers broke off because of "taxation without representation" but then denied representation for most Americans.

      Women? "No say." Black people? "Wait those are people?" Native Americans? "Sure they were here first but I have money." Immigrants? "Why would I support new comers to this land my family has been here for 30 years!"

      We didn't even used to vote for our senators, they were voted in by the state legislator, which you could vote for if your state allowed your kind to vote, but most places only allowed for certain people to vote.

      America pretends it was a democracy, when Musk and Trump just show it was all a show and it could be toppled over at any point. Most of the laws in place for offices of power were just codes of ethics with no punishment for violation. If you did break a law, the president has never really been checked, so just break more as they figure out what to do.

    • It was deeply flawed but it was a democracy nevertheless. It's now a full authoritarian regime and you'll get to realize what you've lost soon enough.

      • Nothing I wasn't already losing through the systemic oppression that is the capitalist system and a hierarchical State that exists to maintains it.

        What? I'm gonna be poor and marginalized under a different system? Okay. Changes nothing for me. I'm still poor and struggling to maintain housing and eat a proper meal every day.

        The only people losing anything are the middle class who still think that the system isn't already exploiting them and fail to understand that what is happening is the inevitable conclusion to the society we built.

        • This is so god damn egocentric, I hope you're not more than 14. Tell me you're a privilege ass without telling me you're a privilege ass.

          You will loose nothing? Good for you because:

          • Trans people lost the right to exist.
          • Indigenous people have been made invisible again
          • Immigrants are deported into camps
          • Women lost control over their own bodies
          • Minorities lost their rights
          • Groenland lost it's security
          • Canada has it independence theaten.
          • The pollution level will rise 10x faster all over the world.
          • 1000x more examples like this

          That's not even 1 month in. You want to play the victim, just wait to see when you'll become one for real.

          Yes capitalism is cruel and unfair system. But the US just blew up any chance they had to ever replace it by something better or simply to make it a little less unfair. Your country will be rule by fascist dictators for decades because of childish, selfish little people like you who are incapable of intellectual nuance.
