If you have to compromise so much as to barely and forcefully cling to a definition, might as well call China a democracy by some weird, fucked up “technicality”.
Also, reminder: the electoral college was a compromise designed to give more weight to slave-owning states.
No need for reminders, we know how low it can go or has gone and still calls themselves the “greatest nation”.
I’m ultra resentful about having heard that so often as a kid. So not only was my country’s identity built on a lie, but many of us were fed that garbage and are offended when it is questioned, so I mourn this loss sometimes, but must do it mostly privately.
North Koreans feel this same sting when they flee their country and find out that their own nationalist propaganda is found laughable to outsiders, but their loss is spectacularly worse than the irritation I feel sometimes.
