    “We’ve never been a pure democracy” sure sounds like “No True Scottsman” to me. More like oligopoly, than any kind of democracy, really.

    But hey, don’t listen to me. I didn’t moderate my rhetoric to your preferred tone while casting aspersions at the Holy Democracy of America. XD

      moderate my rhetoric to your preferred tone

      That’s what we call just telling the truth now? Cool
