How is any of those a prerogative of democracy?
Not to mention a bunch of it is false/misleading.
Such as?
What does this mean?
"Democracy" has nothing to do with "free healthcare" or any of those things listed. Democracy only means that the citizens vote. They can vote for stupid/bad things but it's still a democracy. Similarly, a dictatorship that does some good things is still a dictatorship
If a country doesn't have free healthcare, its clear as day that the people do not rule there
No, the People might just be stupid. You see, many people are gullible and get convinced easily by rallies of some rich politicians. Sometimes, they might even believe that one day they will be as rich as them, and so they see something good for the rich as something good for them. But, unless the people are threatened to vote, or the polls are manipulated, it's still democracy
Democracy is when voters are undereducated and lied to by politicians in order to vote against their own interests, and not democracy is when voters are directly threatened. You are very smat.
Would you consider what we have in places like America to be democracy?
What you have in America, I don't live there. But yes, I do, just a bad one. And if you believe in this meme I raise you another one: would you consider Kim Jong Un a democratically elected leader?
Not even gringos think they have a democracy lmao. And if you do, your opinion of what a democracy is should only be used to consider the opposite.
Democracy = good stuff, communism = bad stuff
