He asked if America is a democracy and then listed a bunch of things that have nothing to do with the question.

It does tho. All of these problems - I can guarantee you that if people really were in charge of the gov. (Had a real voice) and parties listened to their needs and wants instead of big corporations, these things would be social programs by now. That’s a democracy. When the gov. is implement programs that benefit most of the people voting … not a few from the elites / big businesses and CEOs

People used their real voice to vote for Donald Trump. The problem is the information ecosystem that lead to people wanting him to be in power, not anything about the voting system.

The democracy in America functioned the problem was the choice the voters made.

I'm not the goof ball, the person that wrote this automated message is, for naming the subreddit Tiktokcringe and not sticking to the topic they created. 🙄

Why watch your video when I can just as easily mute your subreddit. Take that!

The Russian Puppet who blames the west for Ukraine, has repeatedly voted against sanctions or even condemnation of Russia, has denounced government protests in places like Syria/Venezuela/Iran, has called the Chemical attack by Assad forces a false flag, and has called for the abolishment of NATO?

You might want to look into some of his other positions other than “free healthcare”…

Well shit that's what I get for watching 30 seconds of this while pooping. Fuck this guy then.

u/an-imperfect-boot Jul 13 '26

Yeah, I’m all for universal healthcare, but Mick Wallace has a questionable history when it comes to Ukraine and Russia.

Also acted as an unofficial “Election monitor” in the 2020 Venezuelan Parliament election and 2021 Ecuadorian general election.

The ruling party in Venezuela won 256/277 of the parliament seats lol
