A new poll finds that only about 1 in 10 U.S. adults give high ratings to the way democracy is working in the United States or how well it represents the interests of most Americans.
Hard to be pessimistic about something that doesn’t exist. The US is not a democracy and never has been. Our votes are not equal and there are many institutions in place to ensure that our vote can just not matter whenever is convenient for those in power, both on state and federal levels.
Edit: remember when we voted for the Supreme Court members? Lol. It’s all a joke fam.

Quick Civics Lesson: A Representative Republic IS a form of democracy. Saying the United States isn’t a democracy is false.
