    Who said that? I didn’t so I don’t know what you’re on about here.

    What I’m on about is people thinking the US is an underdeveloped country. That it’s “third world”. Whether or not you think the country is immoral, the fact that it’s developed doesn’t change.

    For someone who just insisted Third World means nothing outside of the Cold War you are very certain (again) that you are exactly right about its meaning.

    I suggest you reread my original comment because I said NOTHING of sort. I said both what it meant then and what it means now. It’s very clear in my comment. I said the meaning changed.

    How many of its citizens believe election fraud happened or was attempted in the 2020 election? The 2024 election? How many believe there won’t be any attempts at election fraud in 2028? Citizens that do not trust their democratic process is evidence of that democracy not being stable.

    Yeah well 150 - 160 million of them vote every time and despite Trump’s nonsense, the electoral victors are taking office and those ones who lost have left office, including Trump in 2020. 202 was the first time anyone tried pulling the shit Trump pulled. In 2024, it’s a handful of idiots on the internet. We just had a series of elections Democrats won. Your argument that there is no democracy going on is an absolute farce.

    How much has the current government ignored trade deals that they have signed? How much flip flopping has happened without warning in regards to tariffs? Have these changes happened through the proper channels from the appropriate branches of government?

    Did you forget what your argument is or something? These are all separate issues that have nothing to do with the electoral process.

    How many stories have their been in the past couple months of the government taking actions that its own courts call rule as illegal, and the government continues to do it anyway defying court orders?

    I’ve seen one, recently. And haven’t looked at it too closely. Otherwise, they have followed court orders, including retuning Brega Garcia. Why don’t you answer one of your own questions for once and tell us about all the times the government has defied court orders?

    If you think all of this sounds “stable” maybe you shouldn’t be lecturing people on the definition of words.

    Barely any of your points even touch on democracy, which is people electing government representatives. Which has and continues to happen in the US. Elections are happening the results are being respected. That’s indisputable. No matter how much anti-American bigotry you maintain, that fact does not change.
