I’m sorry, dear US-American friends because you have a great democracy but also at the same time one of the most flawed electoral systems of any democratic state in the world…
I’m so demoralized. What parts stand out as a “great democracy” to you still?
Old solid institutions… most democracies are just a few decades old.
We were kinda early to this whole deal. Most of y’all learned from us. And at least we aren’t doing whatever the hell England is with their House of Lords bs
By great, I meant that it is indeed the second largest democracy in the world and that, imperfect as it may be, it is functional… But that last statement will soon be put to the test I’m afraid.
What are you even talking about? What great democracy? Of course there are various positive and negative things the country has done over the decades, but applauding the Electoral College system isn’t something most people would agree with.
