As a Canadian looking from the outside in, it really does seem to be trending in that direction… any further Republican wins will mean the end of democracy, with America sliding into a ChristoFascist Autocracy.

I fear for my American neighbours, but we have similar problems up here; we just happen to be a decade or so behind you folk.

can you really call this two party system a democracy

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

No. Did you know they wanted to send international observers for the last election because of worries that the US no longer adheres to democratic process? They were turned away, of course.

You know, like in third world nations and dictatorships.

The democracy in the US is not considered a "real" democracy where I come from

In political science terms it's what we call a "flawed democracy," meaning that it has some but not all the features of an actual democracy.
