Well, the others were obviously lacking life experience to manage, so even MORE experience is the only way to go.

A democracy requires free elections, so no to both.

I don't think the US is that far gone, though. Some states do care about the democratic process, as the graphic indicates. I don't think the US has left flawed democracy territory yet, at least not everywhere.

The US' democracy index is falling, but it's still comparably high, between France and Italy.

But I did say factually wrong. I do admit it's not that cut and dry, and the republic organisation isn't everything.

I get you're referring to a plutocracy. The question is if the US is so far gone that it's out of flawed democracy territory - the lines are definitely blurred and I'd argue it depends on the state.

Yes, there's tons of things that make the process unfair, but does that make the system not be a democracy? It's a flawed one, one that basically only allows white dudes to vote, but the system is still a democracy.

All that to say it is a democracy after all, just even more condescendingly. Wonderful.

No, this is just the first time anyone actually invested more than the one sentence into an explanation. Can you give me a little more to look into? I genuinely have no idea what you're referring to.

People keep commenting this without context and it's driving me mad. It's factually wrong, so at least tell us what you mean in the figurative sense.

The dude could still be a fake, as honest as ZDF is. It's just a report on the guy saying things, after all.

Like fucking iTunes forbidding its use for terrorism. Grow up.

Common mistake for amateurs that found a password library and used it without reading the documentation. E. g. bcrypt will tell you to salt and hash the password before digesting it into constant length output for your database.

Salting before doing anything else is basic password security. I assume the webpage in question doesn't do that, either.

🥺 pwease money?

Again, I'm aware of the state of things. This was about "a republic is not a democracy" idiots.

As you'll see if you actually read my comment, it's about idiots arguing a republic is not a democracy. I'm very much aware of the state of things.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic because of the state of things or if you're one of those "the US is a republic" people, but

In fact, a constitutional republic is a form of representative democracy, not a direct democracy.

Yes it is.

I mean it even touts itself as one of the best democracies in the world. That's like 80% of their war propaganda.

Human beans?

No one said right angles.

It's an interesting question, though. How far CAN you compress? At some point you've extracted every information contained and increased the density to a maximum amount - but what is that density?

And don't call me Shirley.
