@luckytran Nah. America is a real democracy. It's that sometimes it gives power to those who would use it to harm others.
In a bit though? Yeah it won't be. Once republicans/conservatives fully get into power? There will never be a democracy in america again. By no degree.

"Any country that makes protecting your health or being poor a crime is not a real democracy."
Could you explain better this with some example? Sorry, but I couldn't understand. Thanks
Thank you for calling it as it is--the difference between mob rule and democracy is a moral one. A mob will not respect the rights of the individual when those rights run counter to the zeitgeist of the mob, a democracy will respect the rights of the individual even when they run counter to the interests of the largest voting bloc.
@luckytran All the organizations founded to protect us from these monsters have failed us. Where is the Center for Constitutional Rights, the ACLU, or the Southern Poverty Law Center??? I don't know how it can be done, but there needs to be an injunction filed against Alito and Thomas for unconstitutional actions and conspiracy against the united states. Forget their crazy rulings, the "originalism" position is that they'd get challenged to a pistol duel for what they're doing.
Another tell that a country isn’t a real democracy:
When media, elected officials, government agencies, companies, even the public itself refer to the public most often as “consumers” and rarely ever as “citizens,” there’s something pretty messed up about that country.
@luckytran
American democracy is on the verge of destruction by white-life christofascists.
You can sit on your ass or stand up and do something to protect it. Tick-tick
@luckytran
well said Doc ... there is something amorally wrong with our current incarnation of a Supreme Court ... maybe this bunch of shysters should be hung in effigy ...
