> America, as flawed as they may be, has elections, and, again as flawed as they may be, does have two parties - precisely one more party than China has. It'd be really nice if both countries actually had a sane number of political parties but hey 2 > 1.
All those elections didn't stop a murderous rampage in the Middle East, resulting in the death and displacement of millions.
- munk-a 4y agoAs mentioned above, I'm not a cheerleader for America and I think I've quite clearly pointed out a lot of awful qualities about the country - my comparisons weren't "Here's why America is unimpeachably awesome vs. something terrible about China" - I tried to pick especially warty examples for America. If you want to say "America Bad" hey, I'm with you - but if you want to say "America is worse than China" then I think you've got some pretty rose tinted glasses on. And, lastly, this entire thread has reeked of whataboutism. Given your objection I tried to actually provide an explanation, so feel free to take that as you will.
