👍 thank you for the nuanced and original America Bad take
Was what I said seeming like I was trying to be nuanced? It was a pretty generalized statement that anyone paying attention can see.
America bad. End of story.
America is the most democratic of all the super powers.
I'm also pretty sure that all countries with better equality and democracy rely on American military / NATO for their national security.
America looks pretty good to me.
It's not really hard to be the most democratic superpower when you're the only superpower; we're also the least democratic superpower. China, India, Russia, and the EU are only considered "potential superpowers."
And frankly, most of the EU nations are routinely rated better regarding democracy than the US, which in recent years generally is considered a "flawed democracy" rather than a "full democracy".
