The United States was founded as a white supremacist settler-colony. This shit is the same as calling Israel a democracy.
How come the US can be "flawed" but China is "red fascist"? The US is white fascist. You want to talk about fascism? The US's prison population is higher than either the USSR was or China is, and under Trump it's going to get worse! Where's the democracy for the millions of undocumented workers that the US relies on to run its economy, that the US is gearing up to round up by the millions into prison camps? Where's their democracy? Where's the democracy for the hundreds of thousands of child brides and child laborers all across the US? Half a million children pick almost a quarter of the food currently produced in the United States. They pay taxes, are forced to give birth, but they can't vote.
Trump didn't even get 50% of the vote, and now he's in charge of everything. "Democracy"
We have to accept that the US is not democratic; it's reformed fascism, and those reforms are in danger right now. If you ever want the US to be a democracy you need to recognize this and protect the democratic reforms we have.
I agree with at least 95% of what you just said.
