“Baby level understanding” is not an objection. You have to say something more specific Dessalines.
I’m mostly half-serious.

The Communist Party is based in the Leninist principle of “democratic centralism”. This means “debate within the party, unity in action”. It is meant to make the party more powerful by allowing dissent and debates within the party, but when it comes to taking action, all members are expected to follow the consensus even if they disagreed with it.
Since China’s Congress is primarily members of the Communist Party, this means that the decision of the president ultimately originates in the Communist Party itself. After they reach a consensus, the whole party will vote for that consensus in the Congress. While there technically are smaller parties in China’s Congress, they act more as advisors, since it is not practically possible for them to overturn the vote, since the CPC always votes in unity.
Formally, China’s president is elected by the Congress. But the decision of who to elect largely comes back to the CPC itself before they come to a consensus. So the final decision largely originates in the Politburo and the Central Committee.
The president in China is harder to shift on a dime than like in the US. The president is not elected by a nation-wide vote but by the Congress itself. To change who the Congress elects, you have to change the opinions of the largest party in that Congress, you have to change the opinions of the CPC
Xi is not technically a dictator in the same way that Putin is not technically a dictator. He is in control of a governing body that could replace him on paper, but never will. And he has dictatorial powers without real checks/balances. And, to return to my original point, it may appear that this system is fine if it produces a good result, but the power of the government should come from the will of the people.
I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but you’re missing the point
By this logic, a monarchy that keeps the aristocracy in line is better than the US democracy. A benevolent dictator is still a dictator.
Sadly, a lot of them voted for Trump because they think he’s going to “fix it”. The sad thing is they just trust him to figure it out once in office.
Let’s fucking gooo
But we have so much to learn from conservatives! Like don’t trust the news, don’t play by the rules, and buy a gun 🥰
If I know the internet, this picture was commissioned by somebody with a fetish
We have learned (and are still learning) that precedent doesn’t mean shit
FD Signifier is a top tier video essayist. Even when you disagree with him he at least makes you see his point of view.
When was this? A lot of these posts from the last decade are resurfacing now (for obvious reasons)
Just because a problem is worse somewhere else, doesn’t make the problem trivial here.
Bernie has much more populus appeal. Harris/Biden are status quo.
And anyone who complains about the DNC picking the candidate will be downvoted and ignored. We learn nothing from history.
An eight hour retrospective on Morrowind? Sign me the fuck up
Preaching to the choir. The people who need to see this never will.
Well they’re doing a good job because I do not fuck with my fellow Americans.
Shit like this makes people go back to reddit. At least there’s more content and getting banned from one million user subreddit doesn’t stop you from going to another big sub. Here, if you get banned in one or two of the big instances you have to become a lurker. I take pride in being able to disagree with the dominant opinion in a reasonable way, but these .ml mods are unreasonable.
