    You’re comparing a private political party to a dictatorship.

    I agree that rich elites shouldn’t be allowed to control any kind of election even party primaries.

    But pretending China is more democratic than the US when they have a dictator is insane shit.

      I wasn’t trying to make that comparison nor pretending anything. I was just pointing out that our political system allows candidates to be chosen by political party without any say from the people.

      you're going to hate this

      Also, we do live under a dictatorship. We live under a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

      If you want to disagree I have two follow up questions.

      1. Why is there such a discrepancy between working class politicians vs citizens? https://today.duke.edu/2024/02/less-2-percent-state-legislators-are-working-class

      2. Can you name a single president that was elected without support of the billionaire class?

        You understand how a dictator is worse tho right?

        We are trying to rid ourselves of our parasitic leadership, the Chinese are completely impotent and don’t even try to ursurp their wanabe king.

        Slave mentality

          I haven’t said anything about China, positive or negative. I’m talking about how bad it is in the states and you’re trying to tell me it’s worse over there. How do you know that? Have you been there or talked to anyone (not someone with ties to large capital) there? Or do you just assume that the propaganda you’re being fed is true? Why are you disparaging the Chinese people? The way you phrased it sounds a bit racist. Have you tried to usurp King Trump? What are you doing to resist being a wage slave? Or is that slave mentality okay?

            Yeah we both know what you came here to defend, you’re not funny or cute for behaving like this. I guess you could be defending Russia’s dictatorship but that’s even worse lmao.

            How do you know the CCP state media isn’t lying about the oligarchy? They can’t even admit the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened.

            If you’re repeating from the same script as the .ml users then next you will decend into whataboutism about the US.

            The Chinese government is a tyrannical dictatorship and you are coming out of the woodwork to suck authoritarian cock.

      Yes. And it’s a good comparison. Both filter who goes on the ballot paper and use that to retain power.
