    There are many types of democracies, and we live in a representative democracy which is very much a democracy.

    There is exactly 1 direct democracy on the planet. Costa Rica is close but not quite.

        That’s like saying your vote doesn’t matter if you have a minority opinion so democracy doesn’t exist at all. It’s a bullshit line of reasoning.

        Also your vote is extremely important at the local level. Our housing crisis is entirely a local voting issue.

        A billionaires vote counts for exactly the same as yours. Sorry to break your bubble.

            No your post is just nonsense people repeat as part of the general American zeitgeist of “can’t trust government.” It has no basis in reality.
