Still only a partual democracy since we have the european parlement as our overlords that have been ignoring democracy since its birth and i'm no expert on Germany but the votingpower of Belgians is a joke. |
Well, at least we have the part down where the candidate with the most votes wins. Democracy will always just be a compromise, it's controlled by humans after all and humans are mostly comprised of dickbags. But there is certainly a line and I would like to consider Germany and even the EU to be over the line of what constitutes a democracy and the US desperately out of reach far behind that line.
The corruption, the systematic ineffectiveness of each of the branches and the thoroughly embraced anti-democratic policies disqualify them completely from any discussion about democracy.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
