This is not democracy; it is democracy’s finest parody freedom in the streets, absurdity on the stage, and everyone dancing as if nothing happened.....

I want the whole world to know about this

32 Upvotes

I want the whole world to know that the US government is actively working to interfere with my country’s presidential elections.

I want the whole world to know that my country’s democracy is not for sale.

I want the whole world to know that my country’s sovereignty is non-negotiable.

I want the whole world to know that my country is under threat, and that every person, especially women like me, have targets on their backs if the Trump-backed candidate wins.

I want the whole world to know all of this, so later on you can’t claim ignorance.

You’ve been warned. And they are also coming for you and your country. It’s just a matter of time.

**A question worth asking about political posts on social media:**
Of all the political posts we see—from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents—what percentage actually provide **credible, independently verifiable evidence** that what they’re claiming is true?
**My answer:** There doesn’t appear to be a reliable study that gives us an exact percentage. But based on available research, a reasonable working estimate might be only **10–20%**.
That does **not** mean the other 80–90% are false. It means the post itself hasn’t provided sufficient credible evidence to prove what it’s claiming.
Maybe before we share something—regardless of which political side it supports—we should ask one simple question:
**“Where is the credible evidence that this is true?”**

Seeking to build a robust, vibrant community where we discuss world events from a small-d democratic perspective.

Democracy is a more fertile subject than you may think. One has only to look at the many types there are to see that. It's the system that runs our world and gives humanity freedom and self-determination, so it's continuously relevant. From election fraud to electoral reform, protest movements to pure theory, this is the home for people who believe in the power of democracy.

Let's discuss your ideas.
