@Ryan-kr7jz My 2 kids are 18 and 20 and not as left hippy as 35 year olds are. See how popular Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan are with 15-25 year old males. Very. Here in the UK teen pregnancy rates were flat throughout the 90s and 00s. But fallen significantly since. It isn't we invented condoms in 2010.

Especially the penultimate generation. Millenials. Not Zs. They are more Conservative than millenials. Less sex, drugs, (not sure about rock and roll), alcohol. Also, people naturally become less liberal as age. You vote by current age, not by cohort. True across time, issues, countries..

But you want to tell another country's voters what they can and can't vote for. So you have a totalitarian position, just that is ok if it agrees with you.

@mattthorn4789 ? Not sure you meant me. My comment was saying the original commenter telling other countries how they are permitted to vote IS totalitarian. I'd call none of them totalitarian. The fact you've used the phrase campaigned shows they had to convince the public, get votes = democracy

Do people not vote there? Regularly? With examples of transfer of powers on changes in government (e.g. South Africa is a questionable democracy)? Unless you mean "I don't like the politics. Therefore they aren't a democracy."?

@Andrew-ob5ij No. It had a handful of extremists sulk for a week. Not an attempted coup. The Democrats were incredibly good losers for the preceeding 4 years. Me thinks not.

@Andrew-ob5ij Ask countries that have had a coup, if the day in Washington was an attempted coup. Completely agree they were bad losers. Trump was a child. Losers consent is vital for democracy. Here in the UK we had the same with many remain voters from 2016. Pure sulking. But the Washington riots (or whatever you want to call them) were orders of magnitude less violence to people and property than the blm "protests". So storming Washington = bad Agree. Not said otherwise. It was not serious attempt to produce a different political outcome than that democratically voted for. It was pathetic attention seeking with 0% chance of anything except criminal damage.

@TheMasterOfCornedy That's cute of them. And their power / legitimacy arises from? France is with them on that list. I don't think many French people would think they don't live in a fair democracy.

@TheMasterOfCornedy My point is the US is an example of a democracy. Fully working. Public vote. In private. Regularly. Different parties can and do win. When they do, power is transferred.

You say partisan news (which TV is, papers much less so) is bad. Then the rest of your argument is issues that are tiny but make headlines you have seen and bought into. Because you only listen to views you already agree with, that are .... partisan. Voter suppression is not widespread. Minimal. It's not a high iq test "bring an ID". Gerrymandering does occur at sub-state levels, but the presidency is based on state borders. Those aren't fudged. Most countries have 2 main parties.

They have 87 general elections a month. That's not really authoritarian.
