Never believe a damn word they say, I'm a firm believer that their numbers are much much less than what they portray since they lie about everything anyway, else they wouldn't have had to cheat so thoroughly in the 2020 election. It's just too bad that the Supreme Court mistakenly pretends it's more about abortion and gay marriage than it is about election fraud because the evidence is out there and there's mountains of it that's why YouTube had to delete 8,000 full channels a year and a half ago

You have defined the New Democratic Party of Marxists and “ Progressives.”

I am. I just find democracy to have objective shortcomings.

Many have died to allow you the freedom to wish for a socialist dictator that spits in the eye of everyone who ever fought for freedom. I’m ashamed to call you my countrymen. I believe you should go where you can have a liberal dictator. Maybe Canada? Oh no they have strict immigration policies so they probably wouldn’t allow it:

Did I say I want socialism or that I don't want freedom? No, neither of those are true. Democracy is not the only path to freedom. There are liberal dictatorships such as constitutional monarchies where the government is required legally to leave most of people's rights and freedoms alone, building off the precedents established by the Magna Carta.

Americans bow to no King or tyrant. Wanting to do so is unamerican.

Again, I respect and support our democratic system, even if I disagree with it. I was making the point of a benevolent dictator, not a tyrannical one. Democracy is not a perfect system; however I have no other option but to support it. Ideally however, the government would respect the needs, freedoms and rights of the people without the people having to vote for such.

Dictators are always benevolent to some, but rarely to all and because they are dictators there is no option to remove them. Sounds good but doesn’t work in reality.

Many are ok with 51% bullying the 49% until they are on the losing side; When democracy works in your favor; “It’s democracy, get over it”; When democracy doesn’t work in your favor; “We’ll burn this place to the ground”
