    unfortunately america grew into largest democratic experiment of its time. many of its base processes were not designed to deal with operating such a large country effectively and its not easy to change because of inertia.

    the good news is we learned from america’s disaster and most other democratic systems post dating it are more robust

      It was never based on democracy though

      It was stolen

      Then, people were brought to 'Murica because people who were already rich needed more slaves

      Then, those people were weighted as a fraction of a white person when some semblance of equality started to leak in (under duress)

      The US wasn’t some experiment

      It isn’t something that happened with some noble purpose in mind (despite the propaganda)

      It was a way for some rich people to take over a place to get even more rich

      Now it has become the epitome of that celebrated greed

      There are plenty of people just as wealthy, especially in Russia and India, but it’s the Murican billionaire who is considered smart

      You know,

      Because racism

      They’re all awful cunts, but the Yanks are somehow held up as economic titans, rather than parasites

        Literally none of that is related to what I said except in the most general sense. Me: america’s institutions are democratically very flawed and where used as a way to not build a democracy in modern times. You: OMG AMERICA SUCKS AND HERE IS ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS THEY’VE DONE.

        Yeah no shit. happy you could trauma dump though. hope you feel better.
