Ok but you understand how you just moved the goalposts like 4 times right?

You can delusionally hate poor people because of a strawman you hallucinated, it's a free country for now.

Ok live in your fantasy world where the CCP public policy doesn't say that.

I'm sorry but a dictator for life is a dealbreaker.

I'll admit that a truly dedicated and benevolent dictator could run a good society, there are a few examples in the past too.

But it's going to collapse once daddy dies like every dictatorship.

It's rare for more than half the country to vote.

They aren't protesting, they're apathetic

If you talk bad about the dictator they take away your right to buy train and airline tickets to escape the country.

This is real policy.

There are repercussions for saying you want free and fair elections, that is unacceptable

You're right it would have been better if nothing happened at all

Controversial I know, but I think saying "hey we're not going to recklessly break the country and sell off the peices to our rich friends" does make you better than the person who will just break stuff.

Either way the protest votes still had 0 effect on the results of the election.

You know everyone who has to work for a living is the same right?

It's history at this point

You shouldn't argue in favor of an ethnostate for any reason, it's cringe

In 2020 there were just under 2mil independent voters

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_and_independent_candidates_for_the_2020_United_States_presidential_election

So 1mil were added

The Dems had 11million votes less than what they got in 2020, the Republicans had 5mil less

We know Democrats don't change to Republicans, and Republicans very rarely change to Democrats.

(Maybe) the 1mil came from democrat protesters, more likely they came from Republicans who don't want to vote Democrat.

So either way the protest votes were still a drop in the bucket compared to the other 10million white men/women and hispanic men we can see from the shifts in voter demographics.

Im sorry you don't like the data I'm observing but we live in a deeply bigoted country and it's better to try to engage with that and fix it instead of feeling attacked.
