I'm sorry, what? Are they defining "democratic" to mean that each government has a say, regardless of how democratic that government itself actually is?
Sanctions and wide spread use off the of the dollar needs to be addressed in a global democratic fashion. The USA hasn't resembled anything near democratic for a bit, yet kill innocent citizens globally in the name of democracy. In the same way each vote should mean something in a democratic country, each country should have a say in what takes place globally. Makes sense when they're orchestrating multipolar international rule.
What fantasy land are you living in?
Russia, probably.
No, really. America has fucked up their democracy... It started good, for sure, but it keeps getting eroded (unrealistic time constraints, arbitrary boundaries and silly vetoes or weightings). I'm just sitting from the hip here, certainly no expert
Only white male landowners could vote when it started
That's a very good point, I do concur. But it used to be a lot better just a (few?) decades ago
...And yet most of the rest of the world is streaking way ahead in terms of basic liberties
You might find this book pretty informative about USA democracy, especially that "few decades ago" period.
Tell me, what is the likelihood that a publicly supported measure will become law on a federal level? And what about one that the public doesn’t support?
