there are places where it doesn’t work all too well
There are places that claim to be democratic where it doesn’t work AT ALL. The US is one of them.
We’re not implying democracy is bad. We’re implying that calling the US a democracy is an insult to democracy.
It’s also a response to the US routinely claiming other places are undemocratic, heavily implied that they can only get more democratic if they become more like the US (and if they feel strongly enough about it they’ll straight up carpet bomb you to “make you more democratic.”) Like shut the fuck up you’re not the shining example of democracy that you think you are.
