  A 1 to 1 vote to citizen ratio that is the actual determining factor in decision making, the electoral college alone completely destroys any argument for the US being a democracy just by existing, and we’ve had that bullshit running since day one

  1. Incorrect, fixed definitions don’t stay fixed forever, that doesn’t mean they aren’t fixed right now. Words mean things, if a word changes meaning in a generation or two or five it’ll mean fuck all for you right here and now. 2.The US is not a democracy at all and never was. It was arguably at various points in time a representative republic, not a particularly good one but that’s not part of the definition. 3.I don’t care what you think, I know you’re using the term loosely that’s my point, fucking duh

  Wrong

  Literally all communication depends on how you define the terms you use, that’s the whole point of having fixed definitions for words, and the US absolutely does not fit any reasonable definition of a democracy

  The US has never been a democracy, we’ve never been a particularly equitable representative republic either and our government was designed this way on purpose
