    Iran isn’t democratic. It’s a single party theocracy

    I count four major coalitions of parties, and a healthy batch of independents, which is more than can be said of any American, Canadian, or UK government. I don’t know how you get “single party” out of that. Hell, the Reformist coalition just took the Presidency a year ago for the first time.

    jails or murders it’s people for saying mean stuff about the unelected leader that was supposedly chosen by god

    You seem to have Iran confused with the US. It’s always fucking projection with you guys.

      How fucking disingenuous can you be? Like the number of prties is an indicator if how good you’re doing democracy, ignoring the rape, torture, murder, and disappearance of dissidents.

      You should be ashamed to defend such a brutal regime, unless you live there in fear of arbitrary arrest for not.

        “Iran only has one party and that’s bad”

        “The number of parties doesn’t matter, aktuly, and you’re stupid if you thought so”

        :-/

        Wipe the Saudi light sweet crude off your lips before you try to deliver that line in earnest.

        I suspect your definition of “brutal regime” is “they won’t let me jerk it to women in bikinis”. There’s no real concern for Iranians assassinated by the Mossad or bombed by the Americans or starved through international sanctions. Nevermind the native expats hounded by western anti-immigration police or scientists who were kidnapped and tortured or civilians shot out of the sky for no reason at all.

        You only seem to understand “brutality” as a White Man’s Burden to resolve. So long as westerners get to exploit the labor and livelihood of a Middle Eastern people, Islamic Despots don’t seem to bother you in the slightest.
