Well, the US is a republic and the very first statement is that this takes into account the election process.


So yeah, makes sense.

Lmao at this entire map. Yeah for sure, the socialist chithole countries without actual elections and where police shake down the public for bribes are just about like us.

says in the picture. but basically the extent to which a government is elected by the people. common things making a flawed democracy are unfair elections processes, voter suppression

As opposed to us, who got to choose from 2 geriatric fukktards and half the country thinks the election was stolen anyway. Strong everything.

Yeah, maybe in a country that is supposedly operating as a democracy. If you were to create a republic index, and compare all the world's countries based on a scale that rated the extent to which a government is elected by its duly appointed officials, the U.S. might be #1. Democratic countries might be labeled as 'flawed republics' but that doesn't mean much.

Why rate a republic on a democracy scale, and then imply insidious reasons when it gets 7.92/10?


Also strong sauce that requires you to pay $39/month to reveal sources.

well look at the map.. the US is only behind Canada, western europe, Australia, New Zealand, japan, south korea. Literally every US election there is strong controversy and things like partisan media and voter eligibility also factor in
