Do you really think any average citizen has any say in this whatsoever?

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 60 points 10 months ago

Yes. You're a democracy, right? Right?

[-] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 50 points 10 months ago

On paper yes. In reality...

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 months ago

Isn’t that the point of your guns? Why are all these less free states more free?

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Nah, those are just so we can shoot nonwhite people and say we thought they had a gun

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

well, on paper also no, democracy don't exist with only two parties, and that is writed in paper

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

An electoral democracy, we choose those that make the laws. Due to the 2 party system we don't have many options for when they fail to do what they claim they will.

No, we're a republic.

A true democracy would empower each of us to do as you say, but that's not what's here.

Our republic is quite corrupt due to greed and power, as well... Not as corrupt as many countries out there, mind you, but it's alot worse than it should be.

We're starting to resemble a corporatocracy in many ways these days as a result of all this.

'Republic' is about whether or not you have kings. Democracy is as opposed to autocracy, with a few other *cracys between those poles.

America is a democratic republic; the United Kingdom is a democratic monarchy. The US has a broken democratic system that does a really bad job of electing the most preferred candidate. It's almost cheeky to call America democratic.
