U.S. remains a ‘flawed democracy’ in annual rankings

“Pluralism and competing alternatives are essential for a functioning democracy, but differences of opinion in the US have hardened into political sectarianism and institutional gridlock,” they wrote, explaining why the U.S. score for government functionality had hit a new low point.

Pay **** attention white supremacist nationalist assholes, pluralism is essential for a fully functioning democracy.  Not that we didn't already know that the right in this country (which over the last six years has become the inane MAGA/Q-ANON/alt-right) has no interest in real democracy.  What rhe right wants is autocracy and christian theocracy.  These are the antithesis of democracy.

  The highest rated democracies, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit Democracy Index are Norway, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark.

Of course they are.

It's a competition of ideas.  The Christian Nationalists want a Theocracy.  So ... you get to vote on wether you want an autocratic theocracy with some Religious Quack running the show, or somebody else.
The REAL PROBLEM (IMO) is the overthrow of the Republic by the Religious Quacks, like what you saw on Jan. 6.
The Conspirators, like Bannon, Flynn, Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, etc. need to be rounded up and exposed for who they are.

"One Man, One Vote' ... what was wrong with THAT idea?
This 'Electoral College' is **** up. You may get the most votes, but you still lose.
What the **** is that all about???

To make our Democratic Republic less flawed:

• Swiftly execute all violent criminals
• warehouse the insane by chemically inducing a euphoric catatonic state.
• Go to war with the border invaders and treat all of them them like terrorist, enemy combatants.
• Use Fusion Bombs to blow a 1 mile wide trench across northern Mexico from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico and call it the Joder-Mexico Canal.
• Eradicate the FBI and force all agents to get jobs in the private sector
• Re-institute and strengthen laws that allow shoot on sight for looters.  Oh, and define shoplifters as looters.
• Eradicate SSI
• Eradicate Medicaid
• Reduce Medicare
• Eliminate Socialist Security.

It was never designed to be a democracy, because they fail every time practiced in less than 5 generations established to imploded within itself blaming every other society made it happen.

America lasted Declaration of Independence to civil war 4 score and 7 years later. took another 150 years to discover what was lost.

What it's about is a country founded by white supremacist christian elitists who believed their power could be at risk if the election of a chief executive was actually left up to the people.  Rich white land owners and slave owners who feared "the tyranny of the majority" would displace them.  Elitists who had no problem with the enslaving of black people and the genocide of red people to get what they want.

This is not a democracy, and its time for the American people to decide if what they want is democracy or autocratic theocracy.

Uh, maybe.
I view it as the 13 Colonies forming a Corporate State.
President = Chairman.
Congress = Board of Directors.
Property Owners = Stockholders.

A device where the 'Officers' of the Company, still have some control over the Leadership of the Company.

And Skank proves my point.

Or maybe...Skank is just **** around for his own entertainment.  Because...if Skank were really who he says he is, he would want to eradicate Medicare, not just reduce it.  So either Skank is really a socialist, or...Skank has been such an asshole parent to his children that he knows at the end, his own offspring would just let him **** die rather than help him out.

We're a democratic republic, ****.  The Constitution establishes a federal democratic republic form of government. We have an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States.  Its why we had a civil war, ****.  The Constitution makes us an indivisible federal democracy...and why secessionists are traitors.
 
So, if and when the autocratic theocrats take over, me and the blonde take advantage of our dual citizenship and find some lovely corner of the EU to ride it out.  We have always loved Copenhagen.

And as usual, when roadrash finds himself having had his *** handed to him on a plate, he realizes he has no argument and resorts to his typical flaming. 

It's the anti-pluralist conjobs like you are the dividers, ****.  You are the ones who want anybody who doesn't look like you, think like you, worship like you, and speak your language...either gone or dead.

Don't make promises symbolism doesn't weight the same as substance sacrificed to believe real isn't real historically practiced ancestrally. humans before currency, bartered goods and services. Currency created a chain of command to regulate people bartering for a piece of the exchanges.

then those creating the currencies invented taxes on top of getting a piece of each exchanges.
