As opposed to FPTP, gerrymandering, multi-layer representative cutoffs, regional vote weight balancing, or the D'Hondt method?

What's your basis to think that?

There's democracies that are not the USA, you know

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Indeed. I highly encourage everyone to learn about how "democratic" they actually are.

[-] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You're gonna have to explain that if you want it to mean anything

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sure:

Indeed.

Expression of agreement with the previous comment.

I highly encourage everyone to learn...

My wish is to improve the knowledge of the reader and anyone else...

...about how "democratic" they actually are.

...about the different political systems which get called "democracies" by different countries around the world, and how their practical applications differ from the idealized concept of "democracy".

I'm not american and know about half of those words.

I'm not USA-n either, so only most of those apply to the flavor of "democracy" I get. It's still a good exercise to know about the options.
