So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?
Israel, Russia, and China do that in every one of our elections. The problem is that they’re always trying to get the most disruptive candidate installed to weaken the US. Legitimate countries always take the stance of “we don’t want to get involved with yada yada”
A handful of countries are willing to put Trumps in charge and no one else is willing to stop them or put someone more friendly to the rest of the world in charge. Our elections are influenced on social media by Russia, economically influenced by China, and candidates are paid for by AIPAC and a south African billionaire. Our elections are as much the will of the people as the direction of the wind is, and we have just as much influence over each.
Im just saying, OP is pleading with the rest of the world to do something about the democratic decay of the US but is seemingly unaware that other countries revel in it.
“Democratic decay” implies the US has ever been a democracy, it has not
Its a democratic republic. A form of democracy. Go on with your essentialism though.
We’ve gone from only representing rich white christians to only representing the rich lol, it’s not “essentialism” to recognize the verifiable fact that political decisions in this country are not made in accordance with the desires or best interests of voters, the US is a fucking oligarchy and has been since before either of us was born, read a fucking book
Maybe understand what the meaning of the word decay is.
The USA is 250 years old. Democracy has waned and and surged over those years. Ill give you the same prescription, read a fucking book.
Have you actually read anything that wasn’t assigned in school?
Please.
That’s a no, isn’t it?
