So youre simultaneously saying you dont live in a democracy, and also that your vote matters?
I’m pretty sure I didnt say either of those things; I don’t wish to argue about the semantics regarding the first statement, and the second statement is definitely correct for large parts of the population in some nominally democratic western countries (specifically US and UK whose electoral systems are a fucking disgrace).
Also yes i am speaking about the notion of democracy itself, that’s why I put the words in theory there lol
Alright, but it’s clear that I dismissed this idealist/theoretical mode of dealing with politics in my first comment, and I don’t really see any arguments for reestablishing it.
