Incredible, really. Why even pretend to be a democracy at that point.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

They had elections, that's all democracy is. Actually doing what the people want is the biggest threat to democracy

excuse me, elections are not all democracy is! democracy is when US businesses have unrestricted access to capital, and elections without that are actually dictatorship.

Ackshualy that's called freedom, and sometimes you can even have freedom without democracy! (Pinochet emoji)

its democratic, they don't have power of 50+ percent shrug-outta-hecks

angle of attack "its the norms" is only good for radicalization, just as leaving macron to work with rn will crush rn, as that will make them establishment (unless they decide to show some largess to become hitlers, but rn is just as much of neoliberal piggies as macron)

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
