So killing the Jews in German wasn't a tyranny against the minorities just because the majority accepted it? Coooool man. Having a equal voice is what made the electoral system, so that the concerns of minorities get equal opportunity to be heard.

1 - Sure portugal is much older, have made a lot of colonization and exploration, made a lot of war, a lot of mistakes... Salazar dictatorship didn't end until the end of the 70's... while USA "not democratic" have been running fine for over 200 years.

2 - Nope, I'm not descendant of Portuguese, and the Portuguese in question fled in the last century so not that much mixed as the ones you are implying from the colonization. That have to do with you demonizing USA democracy while Portugal have a child democracy compared to centuries of non-democracy. But if you so much want to know my ascendancy I'm 3/4 from ex-slaves (probably with some unknown portuguese and spanish blood in between) and 1/4 Italian.

3 - Call BS all you want, Portugal during the last 500 years have had several conflicts and antagonism with Spain. It may not register in your books, but in Brazil the wave of immigrants during Salazar and Franco regimes was quite expressive. I inclusively have a lot of friends of recent portuguese heritage.

First, your example is ridiculous and doesn't even warrant a reply cause it's not even closely related.

In democracy, all voters get representatives in the assembly, including minorities. The president is their representative in the world and its chosen by majority.

I'm not gonna continue the other topic. It's off topic and it's just you trying to throw personal attacks at my valid criticism. But, i will say this, the US is a flawed democracy as it's catalogued today. It was never a democracy. It was and is a Republic.

I shall quote you them "Tyranny of the majority is a nonsensical idea. If it's what the majority wants, by definition isn't tyranny. Tyranny is to opress the people. If the people are in a majority agreement it isn't tyranny. It's a ridiculous concept." Now tell me that isn't what you said.... and the concept is the same, if the majority have agreed for you it isn't tyranny.

I know what a democracy is. USA doesn't say it is a democracy, I have already told you that. They are a constitutional republic.

Funny that you was the one throwing personnal attacks and now pretend to be attacked.
