    Name me another “democracy” with over 300 million people, from 1000’s of different cultures and backgrounds…who’s doing it right? The point is, you all seem to make it sound like it’s so easy… there’s not another country on the planet in a similar situation as the US.

      All of western Europe can do just fine and on net they are as big and as diverse collectively as us.

        That’s fair right? Compare a lot of small, independent countries to the United States…

      Yeah, because the US attacks and destroys anyone who tries.

      What happened to Salvador Allende? What happened to Sukarno? What happened to Patrice Lumumba?

      There’d be more successful mutliethnic democracies in the world if America didn’t hunt them down and destroy them.

      Name me a country that has destroyed more democracies than the US.

        So, what are you proposing? The United States just stop getting involved in everyone’s business? Isn’t that what Trump was about? Yet, here we are… damn if you do, damn if you don’t.
