The beauty of a democratic government is the nature of shifts in policy. It may not be able to act as swiftly as an authoritarian regime, but it does allow all sides to get their time to share input. I've never claimed the US to be the arbitor of morality, they've made their fair share of mistakes. Fortunately the democratic process allows us to Garner a better understanding as a whole, and thus work towards the solutions that being forth the most common good. Very utilitarian in nature.
Enjoy your democracy while I enjoy my high speed rail. At least until Israel orders you to bomb us.
After traveling to the US once and actually having the Acela train I was on die during the trip, is plenty of argument against whatever political system you have
Watch Saudi's HSR and weep https://youtu.be/uXtaWSnmvTg
High Speed Rail is in a Renaissance phase here in the US, it's incredibly exciting! I'm not sure how this fits the current discourse here though.
My brother in Zeus. Saudi's HSR started after and finished before California's HSR. Your government would sooner loot the project for copper wires and steel beams to sell, so that it has money to send to Israel, than allow it to finish.
Your entire government's purpose is to finance and aid Israel, everything else is coincidental.
Well there's a difference in governance. If the US was not a democracy with protections for private property, HSR would've likely been complete. Not to mention the vast differences in terrain which pose difficult engineering questions to be answered.
If the US is a democracy then explain this
Well more specifically it's a democratic republic, which would answer this question, however the future will likely bring change as votes are cast!
Ah yes just
harder sweaty. Pick from "War hawk cracker one" or "War hawk cracker two".
CLIMAX INTO THE BALLOT BOX.
Do the people know this?
I would hope so as it's a core part of the public curriculum!
And they still vote knowing this?
Absolutely, a vote is a vote and should be encouraged and protected as such.
Even a vote for a 3rd party candidate?
My vote for Bernie was counted, so yes even for a 3rd party candidate. It would be nice to work towards a proportional representative vote, some states have implement this, but I'd like to see it on the federal scale.
