America has been a champion for real democracies across the world for decades. It has propped up autocracies in the past, but those pale in comparison to its global support for democracy.
- take_a_breath 7y agoAmerica has also disposed of plenty of democratically-elected regimes (Panama, Iran, Chile, Guatemala, Brazil, etc.). I’m not sure who gets to determine if that ”pales in comparison” to its support of other democracies, but it did happen.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoSure it did, and it's a shame to the US that it happened. But the US did also prop up democratic regimes. Now, in contrast, China and Russia... did they ever help democracy, anywhere?
