      It’s amusing to hear people living in Democratic countries complaining about America, when it was America’s founding that inspired the shift to Democracy for every other country on the planet. Democratic nations didn’t exist before America did it first.

      America has done some terrible stuff since then, but the only reason that most humans on this planet don’t live under absolute slavery, is because America led humanity to a different way.

      Hate America all you want, but the unique promise that America brought to the world is still a valid one, and it is still what most people want - the simple freedom to choose their own path on life. Unfortunately, that promise is in danger even in America itself.

        If democracy means one person, one vote, and those votes should all be equal, then America is not and has never been a democracy.

        You’re just huffing your own farts, that’s not healthy.
