    So the most Democratic countries on this planet according to you are cuba and china. Both of them are 1-party states, and China is straight up a surveillance state. Ok lol.

    Does china pay you or are you spreading their bullshit propaganda for free?

        I guess not having freedom of press and a very censored internet is an easy way to have the population like the government. You could feed people worms if you don’t let them know there’s other food out there, they’ll like you if you tell them out there not even worms exist.

        The people of Hong Kong absolutely LOVED having their democracy suppressed by china’s (#1 best democracy of the world!!!).

        I guess nobody even asked the Uyghurs how they feel about their government. Or they’re <10% of Chinese population so who cares, they don’t need democracy.

      The US is effectively a one-party system as well, because the rest of the world gets fucked over either way you guys vote.

        1. I’m not a US citizen and I don’t remember mentioning it in this thread.

        2. That’s not what one-party system means. The US is in principle a many-party system, but because of how their system works it means that voting anything that isn’t one of the 2 top parties means throwing away your vote. Making it a functionally 2-party system, which is way more democratic than a 1-party system.

          If you think a two party system is “way more” democratic than a one party system, there’s nothing else worth discussing with you.
