What, pray tell, do you expect from online denizens in general? We aren't generally on here to organize a revolution or counterrevolution, we're on here to kill thirty minutes on break from work.

And you're on here too. If this shit is so important why are you here on memeville posting it up instead of actually doing anything about it?

I refrigerate bread. It's much better and more effective than a bread box. My parents did not refrigerate bread because they live in a different part of the country where it would not mold over as quickly.

At what point do Americans use that 2nd Amendment against tyranny as it was intended? Or is that difficult because the wrong party and classes have most of the guns?

People advocating for leftists to go out into the streets with firearms forget recent history:

The supreme court just made this type of thing entirely legal as well. Not that it mattered. I have to Google the incident everytime because it didn't even register as a blip on the national radar, but the feds likely executed this guy.

I unfortunately don't know what the answer is or if there even is one, but this country historically and certainly recently doesn't take kindly to armed leftists.

Humans are not the problem, capitalism is the problem.

Oh yes, that magical system that was created by ghosts or ghouls or something other than a human.

Humans are the problem and have always been the problem. Hell, we even invented the word problem to describe all of the problems we have, and cause!

I'm not usually one for these types of videos but this one had me laughing pretty hard throughout.

It's funny how similar AI generated images are to accompanying drawings for "what are ten things that are wrong with this picture?" style questions in an IQ test.

I'm out touching grass right now and Joe Rogan can eat a dick along with your favorites fucking pooh bear and the tiny penis moron who looks like he accidentally walked into a hedge cutter.

Also Australia sucks y'all are a bunch of American wannabes.

✌️

Nah I'm good on pyong yang propaganda. You're fucking goofy. Touch grass you dumb bootlicker.

Flawed democracy is still democracy

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.

Enjoy bitch

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.

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?

In general, the "debates" have always been a nationally televised pissing contest for as long as I've watched them.

They're sham elections. You telling me that fucking haircut in the DPRK is God emperor of North Korea because he has some mandate from the masses? He's atop the throne because he's the son of the last blowhard.

I've never seen a debate where the moderators did a fact check.

During the one Obama Romney debate I remember Obama asking for a live fact check of some sort and getting it. So it's happened before.

This guy did the math...incorrectly.

Time to bone up on your fractions again bud.

Memes like this ignore the problem.

Well memes definitely are where I look for in-depth political analysis so you've got a great point here. /s

The USSR, PRC, Cuba, and DPRK all hold elections and practice(ed) some form of democracy.

Lol, alrighty we're done here. 😆

Edit: The only time tankies believe in voting is when they're on lemmy hitting the downvote icon on the deep posts. 😜

Why not? Why do you say Socialist countries aren’t democratic?

What countries are you counting?

The former USSR, China, Cuba, North Korea, and on and on do not hold elections.

The northern European (and other socialist-lite countries) that are closer to what I would want for America didn't abolish capitalism... So...

He does, did, and I linked the sources.

You're right, he does have a prescription...it's just one that doesn't work in practice despite being tried over and over again for more than a century at this point.

Capitalism cannot be truly democratic, only Socialism can be.

Sure seems like this country at least gets a say in voting for who runs it, unlike many, many socialist examples (with great reading scores! yay!) where they are not only not doing that, but it is prohibited structurally (or behind the scenes through radioactive tea administration).

Also, don't bend my ear with all the grand achievements of socialist countries that are decidedly not democratic and then pay lip service to democracy.
