How many of you support a pure Democracy?

I don't agree with it.

The system inherently makes it so some people's votes matter more than others and that some people's votes don't matter at all.

Which to me is terrible system.

Whatever the majority wants, they get.

Not me, I like the EC for president but in many cases voting for elected officials locally is purely democratic.

Beyond that I like rank choice over the EC though if given a choice.

What America is a mixed system. No way!!!!

Thank God for the great wisdom of our founding fathers in giving us an electoral college instead of a shitty popular vote system which would make it much easier to cheat.

Didn't do much good last time though, obviously. Democrats practically cheated in full view of everyone and got away with it and this manufactured covid shit made it much easier for them to do it. Which is one reason why I still say China released it onto the world on purpose. They didn't want us to have a strong leader like Trump who would stand up to them. They knew they could control Biden.

That wasn't the only reason they did it but it was a significant part of it, imo.

Odd how Covid19 can be both a 'Democrat manufactured lie' and something real released by China to make Trump lose.

I don't see how domination of cities over rural areas is any better, or how 51% dominating the 49% can lead to any form of social cohesion.

Johnson’s former race adviser accuses Tories of inflaming culture wars
Exploiting division for electoral gain could spark another Stephen Lawrence or Jo Cox tragedy, Samuel Kasumu warns

-Whirly's editorial. We know the normalisation of hatred led to Jo Cox, militias on US streets, Incels driving trucks and cops stopping Floyd breathing. The Trumps and Boris's are playing a very dangerous game.

Sometimes you have to point out and rally around divisions to actually change them. Turning a blind eye to them is perhaps worse.

you certainly do, especially when what is being stoked will lead to murder.
