Bush II did not win the election, he was appointed before the recounts were even tallied.
Trump was appointed to the presidency after losing the election in 2016 to Hillary Clinton by the Electoral College. Hilary won by 3M votes or 2% of the vote.
Literally two presidents during my lifetime failed to win the popular vote and every time this occurred it was to the benefit of a largely unpopular political party who used technicalities built into the Constitution to overturn the democratic will of the people. Funny how it never has worked in the opposite direction, almost as if it was built-in with that idea in mind.
We do not have a democracy, we have a sham system that puts the interests of business before the interests of people.
"Our poor people are the poorest" sounds suspect to be honest - Haiti? Congo? If you count $200K in student loan debt as poorer than $0 across the board, sure, but if you go by actual quality of life, there's no way.
"our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth" - Does this mean that the author doesn't count the developing world as functioning democracies, but does count all of the developed world as functioning democracies?
Oh no, you insulted the same country I insult daily, I am so hurt.
The cool thing is me being able to shit talk my own country for their errors. I do it more than any other country on the planet. You'll never know the feeling that gives you.
