Many Leninist states are more “democratic” than the United States (not China though), but I don’t recognize either as a fully legitimate form of democracy. They have de facto ruling classes. I’m strongly supportive of a free press, strongly opposed to banks & the housing market.

1. Which Leninist states are more democratic than the US? Elites will always exist. What matters is how they gain power, can they lose it, and is access to the elite limited by birth etc, and not merit.

Cuba, Laos, USSR until Stalin, and many defunct states

Prior to Stalin is questionable, though Russia was recovering from WW1.

Again, I’m not saying it was a real democracy, but it had a slightly more valid claim to democratic rule than the U.S. government does now

How is the US government not democratically elected? Trump like Brexit had everyone, include a large part of the GOP against him and still won.

There are three levels you can look at this on: 1. A majority of voters voted against Trump. 3 million more voted for Hillary, plus all the protest votes. 2. Congressional makeup doesn’t reflect pop vote 3. Public opinion has no effect on policyhttps://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746 …

1. The electoral college exists for a number of reasons. Keep the United States United by protecting the smaller states. How many of the 3 million where in California? What is the level of voter fraud in the US?

The Electoral College effectively disenfranchises anyone who votes against the state majority. This includes millions of NY and CA Republicans. All available evidence, including Trump’s inquiry, suggests voter fraud is statistically insignificant in the US.

I remember that Veritas was investigating voter fraud in California? And what Senate race was it, Florida? Where the Democrat in charge had been convicted several times for Voter Fraud?

I think you’re thinking of North Carolina, Florida was cleared: http://fortune.com/2018/11/12/florida-recount-senate-election-nelson-scott-results/ … Considering that James O’Keefe has been convicted of libel through deceptive editing, I tend to be very cautious when dealing with Project Veritas.
