It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Looked up more on the “Democratic Republic” moniker and found this gem on Wikipedia:
“Henhouses were rated to be undemocratic bastions of terrorism, according to Fox & Weasel Monthly.”

with no interrogation of why those organizations exist or who funds them. [sarcastic golf clap]
I think in a lot of the listed cases their status as undemocratic isn't really under question, even when the source is biased
Sure. But the same Index listed Israel as a “flawed democracy” so getting a few right doesn’t save it.
Flawed democracy sounds about right for them imo. Do you mean it should be in the same undemocratic group? I *don't* think it's quite on par with the likes or North Korea.
Not allowing something like 20% of your population to vote isn't very democratic. Your DPRK takes also sound very
I'd imagine that's part of why it's a flawed democracy
What do you mean?
E: Noticed I said it's on par with NK when I meant the opposite, whoops
