I mean I get it you are American, but your comment is far from the truth, and many countries in Asia people live a much higher quality of life than here in America. Your comment is ignorant at best.
People barely scraping by and not having healthcare or education and living in a military industrial complex owned by corporations is not an ideal place to live in the least. Literal slavery, the workers just haven’t realized it yet.

Okay? Many others have much worse quality of life than America, but either way that’s not what I’m talking about. Democracy isn’t about having a good quality of life. That is, of course, the ultimate goal, but the essence of democracy is when a people have peaceful, legal means to do something about not having a good quality of life. That is completely different from non-democracies, where when the government announces extra taxes on the poor the only thing you can do is revolt or shut up. I come from one of these, which is why I’m saying America is a democracy; I know what it would look like if it wasn’t and for starters half the people in this thread would be arrested.
