RE: Racism on Steemit

The USA is a democracy and people vote for the people they want to see in power.

That is absolutely hilarious. The United States is not a democracy, by any means. 100% of the populace could vote for person A to be president, and the electorate can decide to put person B in place instead. Fully within the rules, and the way it is meant to run.

Besides that, the only people allowed to show up as candidates have already been approved by the Council on Foreign Relations, and only have a chance if they have the support of the corporate media.

Never mind the fact that democracy is itself a terrible system, simply violent control by the majority. Any system that involves someone being in power over others (without 100% explicit, non-coerced, informed consent of every person they have power over) is absolutely invalid & morally reprehensible.

This is an old one, but one where I broke down EXACTLY how America's "democracy" works (no theories, just facts, and plenty of conspiracies): Why not voting is the only peaceful, sensible option

PS: Here's the definition of conspiracy, because anyone making a statement like "I have absolutely no interest in discussion conspiracies" clearly has no idea what the word means:

  1. A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
    1.1 The action of plotting or conspiring.

Most every single thing that governments do is conspiracy, by definition.
