I don't understand the cognitive dissonance of speaking as an authority on democracy, supposedly in favor of the idea, and then telling people not to "whine" about matters that concern basic human rights and basic needs getting met.
Like are they sure they don't live in the US themself? Because their tone sounds to me like someone whose experience with "democracy" is being told from birth that they live in a democracy, while being fundamentally unhappy with their government and abandoned by it, and then eventually adopting a learned helplessness mindset that being fundamentally unhappy and abandoned is just part of "democracy" and "the people decided."
For liberals democracy is a purely procedural thing that's completely divorced from the outcomes. As long as the process is followed faithfully, that's all that matters.
So Liberalism is an idea that looks good on paper but disastrous in practice and an oppressive system where people do not oppose the authoritarianism because they were brainwashed to think that alternative are worse. My experience proved that is true although it is a projection towards the Communists, and that British diaspora depends solely on stolen land, stolen inheritance from abducted Indigenous children, free child slaves in Indian residential fake school death camps, good climate of stolen land, rich natural resource from stolen land, and misuse of funding from Indigenous parents.

Oof, putting it that way makes a lot of sense to me for how they talk about it.
This is what happens when people start rejecting materialist analysis and start huffing idealism.
