    George W. Bush was elected.

    When’s the last time haircut doofus had an actual election that he didn’t somehow manage 106% of the vote in?

        Kim Jong Un did not stand for election, marking the first time that a North Korean leader did not participate as a candidate.

        He’s not even pretending anymore because he knows he’s God Emperor for life.

          You do realize you’ve moved the goal posts over time, right? Flawed democracy is still democracy, and if you’re going to pretend it isn’t then we have to agree that the US isn’t a democracy either.

            Not voting at all for your leadership isn’t democracy.

            It has nothing to do with flaws, of course countries have flaws.

            If Trump manages to turn the country into full on dictatorship I’d acknowledge that as what it is, instead of pretending that it’s a flourishing democracy.

            Besides all of this, China hasn’t even gotten rid of capitalism anyway. So they’re not only a dictatorship but they’re also practically a fascist one with worker aesthetics.

            Half of the shit we buy in America is made in China by wage slaves who cannot advocate for themselves under threat of being carried off to jail or executed.

              They do, though.

              China has elections, so not sure why you’re calling “fascist,” it’s closer to a Social Democracy.

              Mind finding some sources of this happening?

              All in all, you’re deeply goofy. It’s like you believe everything the US state department says.

              Try watching a video of two guys going to North Korea to get a haircut.

                  I think you need to take your own advice and stop watching Joe Rogan.
