      the anti-democratic nature of germany.

      Gee… what a challenge! I’m going to be completely stumped by this one, eh?

      But just before I do the little surrender dance, we have to… you know - dot the i’s and get the paperwork right, okay?

      You did get to vote on who it is that manages you at your job, right?

        What a terrible way of avoiding the question.

          Oh, not at all.

          We are absolutely getting to the heart of the matter… and no amount of liberal pearl-clutching is going to change that.

          I take it the answer is a definite no?

              I get what sea lioning is but I don’t see the relevance to this convo. Unless you’re calling yourself a sealion? But I’m on your side, I don’t think trying to keep the conversation about Germany’s government counts.

        But this was not what the Original Comment was about…? This is not about society as a whole, but rather, well, the nation we live in being ruled in a certain way. A government for the people, by the people, seems pretty democratic to me.

        And Yes, I know there’s problems. I know one’s job often isn’t managed in a democratic fashion (although that does exist, mind you). I know there’s corruption and misinformation and whatever else, but at the end of the day, my vote counts. And so does everyone else’s.

          This is about as simple as it gets - you either live in a democratic society or you don’t.

          If it’s a case of the former it doesn’t matter how hard and for how long political racketeers and their media cronies have shoved a buzzword down your throat, does it now?
