I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    nope, usa is a two party first the past post system on a federal level and allows state levels to determine their own systems, both of which allows for third parties. you have no actual proof of voter fraud and jim crow era laws have been long dismantled. fuck off with that. yes, gerrymandering exists on a state level but that isnt a federal issue. your problem exists with specific states, regardless, a challenger can still win a gerrymandered state. now go prove china has a democracy on a federal level, you cant

      Lol ok, I mean you have the ultra right and the right party. They are different, but the usa has a well defined external politic which doesn’t really change. So since I’m outside to me it looks almost like china

                  Different US administrations having different policies proves that the US is Democratic!

                  Different Chinese administrations having different policies proves that China is a dictatorship!

                    mayooo said us policy doesnt change at all, i said it does. someone else said it doesnt change as much, i said thats because theres no checks and balances. my logic is fine.

      to me, usa seems so politically inflamed it might as well be 2 “one partys” fighting each other.

                  Oh? Nine major parties? Wow so there’s a choice?

                  And no, the USA can’t nominate who gets to lead those parties. They’re private entities and free to choose whoever they like to lead.

                  Do some research before believing the lie you’ve been told often enough.
