Not a single coup d'etat or dictatorship in 242 years

State autonomy
But we have had civil wars

Also the Founding Fathers did interpret a very smart system of checks and balances. The only thing I really see wrong with our federal system is the electoral college, but that was actually not created with our founding.
All in all we have been more democratic than most other countries.

>>Same constitution

Wrong, idiot. We had the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union for 8 years before we replaced them with the Constitution.

inclusive political and economic institutions that originate back to colonial times when British settlers only would want to settle in barely fertile lands if they got to keep their earnings (in contrast to Spanish colonies, where people went to exploit the natives and their institutions remained as well)

Perpetual Union?

I suggest you take a look at the methodology of the so-called "Democracy Index". It's quite a meme.

Not to mention four presidents assassinated. Possibly five if Trump is elected again.

The electoral college is an extremely important part of our elction process. Without it we would balkanize before the end of the year.

Our population centers are so large that politicians would have no need at all considering the vast majority of the country (by landmass). This other half of the country that is spread out over the entire country would quickly form a government that does look out for their own interests, and cities would burn within a month.

I also watch Simon Whistler

Ironic names for constitutions were all the rage back in those days, hence a "Perpetual Union" that lasted only 8 years.

Stupid garbage THEY are a democracy, didn't said that they never supported coups

it was a relatively small country that expanded by conquering indians, then creating frontier territories that were lawless shitholess that enjoyed being shitholess for a couple decades before they got made into a state.

The core cities were always stable because they had tremendous room to expand into practically uninhabited land, funding said expansion and trading kept them busy for a good 100 years

The civil war only really got going when they ran out of room to expand and had to start stepping on people's toes to accommodate the growing economy.

furthermore they didn't suffer from caudillismo like we did.

no idea who that is

That picture is such a meme. Fuck off, zoomer.

Maybe so but the USA isn't a democracy.

It is quite impressive. The only time a coup seemed possible was when General MacArthur fell out with Truman over China, and it was nipped in the bud before anything happened. What's really interesting is that Americans tend to overestimate how much of the civilian control over the military is hardcoded into law and underestimate how much comes from an unspoken tradition. If you read Article II of the Constitution it's quite vague.

Weimar Republic had great constitucion, it was very advanced for the time. Germany had some of the greatest constitutionalists of the world.
Impressive that the third Reich happened.

>>Not a single coup d'etat or dictatorship in 242 years
Well there was that civil war
>>Same constitution
Technically it's our 2nd, the articles of confederation came first where each state was basically it's own country
>>Only 27 amendments
Too many, though the first 10 are a sort of package deal so really it's 18, 16 if we forget about the alcohol thing

Whats a meme about it? That map is the exact reason we have an electoral college and anyone with more than a room temperature iq can see why. Here is a map of all the counties that wouldn't matter for shit if we did away with it.

Did not know that the prez supposed to represent the counties of America.

>>Send the 101st airborne to enforce the law
They can't though, the regular Army can't operate on US soil unless it's in a time of war.
They can send in the National Guard or State Guard, but not the regular army

Snopes is the most reliable fact checking website

America is a cunt based around an ideal (meaning limited government and personal freedom or something like that). Other cunts are not based around an ideal but to merely serve as a homeland for an ethnic group.

The worst thing you can have are cunts like mine which have no real reason for their existence (we were created to house Britain's criminals, yay). We aren't based around an ideology or ideal and we aren't a homeland for a specific ethnic group.

There is this small place in Arkinsaw, called small pebble or something.

"democracy"

snopes is actually correct here though. but it also shows that a lot of our country is red, even if it's a low percentage of our population.

Asking some guys to stand around isn't a deployment

>Well there was that civil war
Not really a coup or a dictatorship tho, just an attempt to secede.

even if it happened social democracy was exported to pretty much every democracy except the USA

>Not a single coup d'etat or dictatorship in 242 years

One city had one in america though.

Bill de Blasio isn't a dictator just a dumbass

>when they ran out of room to expand
Wrong. The civil war was a case of two entirely different economic models in the same country and disagreement about tariff policy.

nothing on your statement contradicts mine

We had black slaves and chink immigrants help build America. After that, it was a perfect opportunity to turn the entire population into low IQ mongrels and willing slaves using degeneracy in media and fluoride in water to lower IQ so the people never rebel.

Americans didn't run out of room to expand when they had their civil war

The electoral college is a stupid piece of shit that doesn't do anything.

Spain was a much more authoritarian cunt than Britain where the Catholic Church controlled everything and they created colonies so they could extract resources. The problem is that resource extraction and farming does not tend to lead to a middle class being formed--you end up with slave workers and the owners of the mine or plantation taking all the wealth for themselves. Spain had hardly any industry and the Castilian nobility considered industry and commerce undignified activities.

The end result was a mass of impoverished Indians while white noble families descended from the Spanish colonial administrators fought each other for power and had endless coups and caudillos.

The electoral college is for helping the 20% of americans that live in rural areas dominate over the 80% of Americans that live in urban areas.

it let republicans get the first orange president through through. that's something.

Yes it is dumbass

Brainwashing, extremely low education budget, and corporation paradise.
No one knows anything about the outside world except things they're taught are evil or worse than how it is in the US, and the large area means most will just vacation inside the US (or Canada which is just US-lite).

We can play on words, but Dwight sent them there with arms. Thankfully it did not escalate and the racists backed down. My point is that contrary the popular belief the USA always had a big and strong government that cracked down on anybody, who dared to challenge it's authority, let it be southerners, socialists, wealthy business man or religious nuts in Texas. Of course this things were mostly in small case and not always bloody, because the government always acted in the early stages. America is stable, not because of the freedom and liberty, but because the strong law enforcement and government agencies. America had its domestic problems, but nobody cares about police killing a bunch of strikers, Wilson basically banning the free press, or racial riots.

The president represents the country. Roughly half of the people in this country live in big cities and half is rural (give or take, I haven't looked up the numbers since my 8th grade presentation on the electoral college). The problem arises from the fact that since some of our cities are so big, there really isn't much need to worry about the less populated regions because a handful of cities would be more than enough votes to win you an election. Therefore the executive branch would be fully attentive to the problems of say a chicago steel worker, but really couldn't care less about an idaho potato farmer. In the meanwhile while a handful of big cities are being showered with girts and promises, a rural town is being neglected. As I'm sure you know, our country has had issue with unequal representation in the past, and in a similar way we still do. No red state is going to sit by knowing that they will never again have a president who will support their interests and will set forth to creating their own government that will. This has become a hot button issue as of late because the Democrats which hold almost the entire voting base in most cities in our country realize that if they can do away with the EC that they can effectively control the entire government.

Counties are used because they are the smallest reporting units so that you can see that a state did not vote for Hillary, a city did and overwhelmed the rest of the state by sheer numbers .

A representative democracy is suppose to represent the people. In the "real" USA, the vast majority of people happen to live in "blue states." The electoral college is effectively a means of allowing backwards right wing subhumans to have a single vote with more weight than a single vote. That is representative democracy in the same way a cat is an elephant.

Nice spacing, spastic.

>The president represents the country
Your current president received less than 50% of the votes.
Your democracy is false.

Well then... as part of the 20% that feeds you, i whole heartedly support it.

I wonder how hungry that 80% will get before they see it our way. We can live without new cars and smartphones, how will you fair without our products.

Have you met a americans?

Seriously theyre dumb as rock

You assume (rightly) that president's only goal is to get elected, which is very sad. The urban-rural divide is real, it's even a problem here in Hungary, but I don't see the electoral college as a proper solution. It creates swing states and presidents now pander to them, Trump won, because he convinced the rust belt to vote for him. Also the winner takes the whole state is just stupid. I think popular vote would be more fair.

Do you guys think his assessment still stands today?

the US predates the middle class a concept. You either were a worker or an industrialist back then. Artisans were dying.

Furthermore, the church was one of the biggest protectors of native americans. There wasn't wantom oppression, there was an incredibly inefficient colonial administration

Most countries have done things like this at some point or another. In a free country however, you have the right to complain about the cops beating up strikebreakers if you like. You have the freedom to also demand the passage of laws which are more fair to organized labor. If you live in some shithole like Cuba or China, you don't even have that. You're not allowed to even mention in the press that cops beat up protesters. In fact if you do, you'll also get beaten up and sent to a labor camp somewhere.

For example, in my country when Alfonso Michelsen was president in the 1970s, union organizers started a massive riot in Bogota (September 14, 1977). There were epic street battles with cops and fires and looting everywhere. About 30 people were killed. In the end, Michelsen gave in and conceded to the unions' demands. Try doing that in China. They'll just run you over with tanks, kill everyone, and send the survivors to prison. The protest will also be censored and banned from discussion in the media or press.

California produces the most food out of any other US state, around about 12% of the total food output of the entire country.

I never claimed that the USA isn't free or there is no political change at all.

>the US predates the middle class a concept.
Nonetheless, Northwestern Europe had an emergent bourgeois class since the Middle Ages like in the Netherlands where the burghers and merchants held most of the political power and the nobility were unimportant.

My country has a superior political system to yours, retard.
Your democracy is false.

that's not a long time for a country to have existed, give it another 300 years (if it lasts that long)

>the US predates the middle class a concept. You either were a worker or an industrialist back then. Artisans were dying.
Not really, the US and the preceding 13 Colonies were special compared to Europe because land ownership was a standard in America, and generally speaking people in America were wealthier and had a better life than your average Yuro serf.

California is not a blue state, it is a red state with 2 or 3 blue cities overwhelmingly the vote.

Last I checked the only thing's growing on the streets of San Francisco where the piles of used needles and human excrement, but if you wish to eat that, i won't stop you.

And the republican voters of California are not represented at all. Wow, as a Californian republic one must really love the electoral system.

lol

>Last I checked the only thing's growing on the streets of San Francisco
Jesus fucking christ, you clearly know nothing about agriculture. Just shut the fuck up.

The "red" areas of California are dependent upon the blue areas, you fucking idiot.

a near perfect constitution. The Founding Fathers put A LOT of thought in how to make it

Our democracy is false because we don't submit to mob rule? We elect our representatives and our representatives vote on issues, but this isn't democracy because it doesn't fit the wishes of a fucking penal colony?

I'm very pleased to find out you think so highly of your government, because there isn't a damned thing you could do about it if you didn't.

If you can't see why it is important then you probably have no business participating in an election.

>My country has a superior political system to yours

We live in a nanny state where porn of women with A-cup tits is banned and most Australian politicians were born in the UK and are lawyers in it for money and power. I'm not sure we ought to be throwing rocks in a glass house.

The article literally only explained how it works, it said nothing about its importance. Or it's important, because it works?
