China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
How many people voted for him? How many votes did his opponent get?
No idea. I couldn’t even tell you that about my own country or the USA, you know that place that’s totally a democracy where they don’t count all the votes and keep the black people from voting with dirty tricks.
Okay well then just a simple question: when was the election?
Also no idea. I’m not your Google.
So how can you know they had an actual democratic election?
How does anyone know anywhere had a democratic election? I read it in the news. Who told you China was not a democracy?
Well, when did you read it in the news? That might give us a sense of when this election happened.
So you claim that China is a democracy based on… having absolutely no knowledge of Chinese politics?
Based on knowing the fact that China is a democracy.
Hate to break it to you but China is a dictatorship. They don’t even pretend otherwise, the primacy of the Communist Party is literally part of their constitution.
Do you know how many political parties there are in China?
The general population does not vote for the presidency in China, the electors chosen by the CCP do. That is significantly less democratic than the US which is also not a very democratic country when it comes to the presidency.
Neither do americans get to vote for their president nor the germans for their chancellor.
but americans do get to vote for the electoral college, and germans iirc do get to vote for the bundestag
no one tell this guy how bernie got the popular vote but didnt get to run
