I hate to say it but the Chinese Regime actually looks more fit to govern than Trumps administration...now some might take that as a blow against democracy, but I'd rather think of it as "With great freedom comes great responsibility"
Democracy didn't fail, America did...

- ww520 10y agoThe merit of democracy is not that it's the most efficient in governance. It's the self-correction in the face of disaster.
- snarf21 10y agoIt didn't fail because America isn't a static thing. Every four years YOU can change it. If you hate the candidates, then run yourself.
