    "Liberal Democracy Index" sounds like something one of us on Hexbear would make up as a bit

    Democracy is when people aren't allowed to keep the party they want in power

        Not democracy. That's a cult of personality. Democracy is when 7 candidates with slightly different paint jobs halfheartedly run on issues they won't do anything about.

    Due to flagrant disrespect toward institutions and general lack of decency in this thread, I have decided to lower Hexbear's liberal democracy index by 0.2 points. Consider this a warning.

    Makes a surprisingly good argument for how term limits are anti-democratic

    Liberal Democracy Index fell to under the best PRI level which is considered a classic example of enduring semi-authoritarianism!

    I’m surprised he didn’t mention AMLO’s very close relationship with Sheinbaum as a way they’re deliberately subverting the rules or some other deranged shit lol. I’m curious if there’s a single quantifiable metric behind the “liberal democracy index”, this really just reads like a badposting bit

      Of course they have quantifiable metrics!

      V-Dem has developed innovative methods for aggregating expert judgments

      If you like a country they get +1 and if you don't, -1.

      Numbers, therefore valid and robust.

    I know a guy who's got some democracy index points that fell off the back of the truck if anyone wants a few

    The Liberal Democracy Index is no joke. Everyone knows its directly proportional to the Burger Index and inversely proportional to the Bad Country Index
