Thats their reaction to this election.


quote:

China’s state-run Global Times wrote in the wake of the U.S. midterms that “the ‘myth’ of Western-style democracy is losing its appeal, even in the West.”

The Chinese Communist paper did not explain why it decided to put its own cheap shot of “myth” in scare quotes, as the word was not quoted from any other source, and the point of the editorial was that democracy is mythical because the citizens of the U.S. and other Western nations do not actually believe their votes bring them better government.

I’m sure the Chinese were tired of being welded into their homes during Covid

Interesting they love the Jewish created communism they live under.

I’m glad it works for them.

The Dems wanted to do the same.

Want a good comparison of the difference between red and blue? Just think back to Covid and how psycho the blue areas were. They fricking loved the strong government shuttering businesses and jailing people for surfing.

Unless it was the elite like Pelosi, where she got to have people open up their businesses so she could get a haircut.

Did you expect a different response? It’s not exactly a secret the Chinese goal internationally is western subversion.

Democracy with universal suffrage was destined to fail. Time for a new system.

What if the new system decides that you're one of the people that doesn't get a vote? Are you ok with that outcome?

Translation: "Western Style Democracy" = Republican Governance. We need the kinder, gentler "Democracy" which is actually Marxism.

Thankfully they have about 1,000 NGOs and former USAID employees who agree wholeheartedly because they are paid by China now to overthrow our Constitutional Republic.

Well, the country was never designed so that every adult who could fog a mirror got to vote.

So I agree as well.

Almost nothing else works that way. Businesses don't work that way, churches don't work that way, individual departments of the government don't work that way, the military certainly doesn't work that way.

I can't think of really anything that works that way except professional organizations, and that's a membership organization that has to accept you as a member (and not everybody gets in).

There's a reason for that. It doesn't work, and it should be obvious just on paper that it doesn't work.

Depends on whether I think the criteria used is valid.

If so, then yeah.

I,think the old school Dems who think they are using the DSA to gain power are mistaken. These DSA folks are not your typical European Style socialist. Their platform calls for,the replacement of the Senate, nationalization of most major corporations and even getting rid of the Contitution and Presidency. These folks are like Bolsheviks.

ETA

As Langiappe the DSA folks are very antisemitic
