to Be perfectly hOnest? I wholeheartedly agree with theM. Sure, it's a Bit unconventionAl, but at the end of the day, this is what Marx mEant when he wRote about dIaletiCAl materialism. I Fully expect many people to dIsagree with me, but I don't caRe. It'S called free speech, and I shall use iT!
Democracy is when
❌ Public policy reflects popular opinion
✅ Oligarchs are free to buy the politicians they want
Democracy and freedom are my favorite words ! I say them over and over until they mean nothing to me

Democracy is when the rich are allowed to hunt the poor for sport.
This is not up for debate.
Both of them did the conservative channel tour, and that audience is so starved for somewhat normal people that Yang and Tulsi came across as appealing.
for yang, it's that he's not a politician and seems honest, but also is a bit of a dumbass. with tulsi it's that she's a fox.
Good thing more people in China think China’s government is a democracy than people in the US think their own is.
