    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.

          Donald Trump is anti-democratic by definition now. He made that very apparent, and has even promised to be a dictator “just on day one”. What you are suggesting is we give everyone a fair shot at overtaking the government because if it happens it must be because everyone (or the majority) wanted it.

          Need I remind you that he incited the insurrection because he was already losing the democratically held vote? You don’t get to rip up the rules of democracy and then cry your way back into abusing democracy.

          If I have failed to educate you then I sincerely wish you take a public course in Civic Studies. Just the 101 course should do fine.

      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.
