    Theres a lot of regulated democracies in the world. North Korea has elections every 4 years. For allowed candidates of course.

      I can’t vote for:

      • Arnold Schwartzeneggar <- Constitution regulates, saying,“Sorry, not born here”

      • Billie Eilish <- Constitution regulates, saying,“Sorry, not seasoned enough. Try again in a few elections.”

      • Donald trump <- Constitution regulates, saying,“Sorry, you engaged in insurrection. Fuck right the hell off.”

      Not saying I would if I could, just saying.

        Right, again telling me its illegal, i already know. It aint democratic for all those examples. Especially the age one, man we need younger reps.

      Well when you establish democracy after you’ve already destroyed the entire foundation of it, it makes it a lot easier to get the results you want.

      Exactly why the insurrection was kindof an issue.

      Pretty bad faith to argue North Korea though, like there aren’t a lot of other things with the situation that make it massively different from whats happening here.

        No I’d say North Korea’s whole situation boils down to that concept of state sanctioned candidates. For a situation a bit closer to ours, id point to Russia barring candidates from running for opposing the war.
