Except one does not contradict the other. The United States has supported democracy, it's just that that support had been razor thin. Now, I think it's pretty clear they are openly shitting on it under Trump.

If we are playing silly semantics then Russia is a "democracy" as well and Trump is supporting "democracy".

Nothing silly here. “Fact checker” twisting Bernie’s words. Sad to be corrected yourself?

When you say Russia is more of a democracy than the US, I think that's more of having no standards than playing semantics. They are both oligarchies, and you are basically living up to the lack of standards that is your namesake, the mockery of geneva conventions. ml users be ml users.

Are we in the same conversation or did the LLM start hallucinating?
