See people who can only speak in extremes lose me instantly. When you say “none of the substance”, you remove the chance of a productive conversation because of course there is some level of democracy
If by “some level of Democracy” you mean that the only people whose opinions have a statistically significant impact on policy are the wealthy and a select few corporate lobbying orgs, then I don’t disagree.
Democrats are right wingers
Truth x Facts
Democrats: “We promise to build one concentration camp less than the Republicans!”

This, but unironically.
America is a country that carefully maintains the appearance of democracy with none of the substance.

Science proved that America isn’t a democracy over a decade ago: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/princeton-scholar-demise-of-democracy-america-tpm-interview
We have never been a pure democracy so this is just as stupid and pointless as I said. You’re arguing with an imaginary point of view.
“We’ve never been a pure democracy” sure sounds like “No True Scottsman” to me. More like oligopoly, than any kind of democracy, really.
But hey, don’t listen to me. I didn’t moderate my rhetoric to your preferred tone while casting aspersions at the Holy Democracy of America. XD
You should learn what that means before you use it
That’s what we call just telling the truth now? Cool
