    The louder and more often a politician proclaims some great quality, the less true it is.

    America, with it’s voting system designed by landowners to mathematically create a power duopoly, is at best straddling the boundary between Democracy and Dictatorship, which is why you end up with situations like this, were all there is two anti-choices (“vote me ´cause I ain’t him”), somewhat better than what’s going on in Russia but far from good enough.

    All that harping about Greatest Democracy In The World TM is pure compensation.

      They thought, “We don’t want tyranny if the majority!”

      But then we ended up with tyranny of the minority, and that’s worse!
