Do Americans Really?
Do Americans Really?
>system that demands you forfeit your rights if you're outnumbered
I'd be glad to cripple it.
Imagine being less of a democracy than a country that only got out of a brutal authoritarian dictatorship in late 1980s where soldiers literally massacred thousands of protestors.
What is the criteria? I guess it may be due the fact that you only have a chance of being elected being rich or through nepotism?
Actually all of those have a newer democracy than the USA, don't they?
why is japan a flawed democracy?
>UK
>First past the post system
>Full democracy
basically a one party state.
Corrupt criminal justice system
because their score is lower than 8.01
u mean just like china
japan has an emperor tho.
Yes
literally a one party state
think of erdogan's akp but people have been electing them since ww2
good
fuck democracy
Not UK
>equal civil liberties to fucking south africa and less than columbia
ok this is epic
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>democracy = good
>random numbers on a mysterious chart
Nice thread faggot.
>a republic is a democracy
>any EU country
>full democracy
A democratic republic
kek. who even started the "us is not a democracy but a republic" meme?
Democracy is bad. People are just too stupid to vote. Just look at what democracy has given us after ww2 ended. Fascism is unironically the only way to salvage the west now.
Probably Jefferson or some other fedora tipping USA founder.
Any republic isn't a democracy.
The only true democracy is Switzerland, everybody else is republics.
>spain
>malta
>uruguay
>above the us
what?
truuue. actually monarchies are the real democracies
like the uk, japan, netherlands, sweden, denmark...?
yes
Those are republics, not democracies
so if you replace you monarch by an elected president but change literally nothing else, sweden will cease to be a democracy.?
>those are republics
>have a monarch
Monarchs have no real power, they're just a popular figure head
what matters is who is the head of state. if it's a monarch, it's a monarchy. if it's not a monarch, it's a republic.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
>The Economist
Butthurt after Trump won.
yes
>The decline reflected a fall βin popular confidence in the functioning of public institutions, a trend that predated β and aided β the election of Donald Trump,β according to the report.
literally
Funded illegally by Russians and lost the popular vote.
>UK
>Full democracy
That's a meme list.
There's any chart where they are not above mexico?
No idea but it makes since I found out that Americans don't learn the ochlocracy-democracy distinction in school.
>massive endemic corruption right up to the the highest level of government and organized crime
>literal violent insurgencies going on
>standing for major or becoming a journalist is a literal death sentence in some cities
ITT: assblasted freedomlets
Why did you post this on Jow Forums?
we just get a bad rap, but when it comes to corruption most south American countries rank below us, which is nothing to be proud of. Only Chile and Uruguay are less corrupt, unironically. Brazil, Paraguay, Venezuela, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador consistently get rekt in those rankings. Not denying that corruption is endemic in this cunt tho
Singapore lower than Maphilindo
Democracy is a meme.
Daily reminder that America isn't really even a democracy at all.
No it's even more pathetic. They have elections it's just that the other parties usually fail to unseat them.
