    People say America is one of the greatest democracies but I’m really not seeing it.

    As an American, I can tell you it’s a shitty democracy. Politicians are openly bribed in the form of “lobbying” by corporate interests and the rich. Its a two party system thanks to having FPTP voting everywhere.

    Any given legislation has a 30% chance of getting approved regardless of public support, unless said legislation is supported by the rich, then it’s far closer to 100% chance.

    America is is on the fence post with outright fascism on one side, and milquetoast flawed democracy on the other.
