You're comparing a private political party to a dictatorship.

I agree that rich elites shouldn't be allowed to control any kind of election even party primaries.

But pretending China is more democratic than the US when they have a dictator is insane shit.

Yes. And it's a good comparison. Both filter who goes on the ballot paper and use that to retain power.

Oh, so Chinese citizens publicly organize against their fascist leaders who they are planning on executing to be free again?

Oh wait they've been silently deepthroating the boot since Xi declared himself dictator for life.

Sorry? How is this an argument about American "democracy" not being like Chinese "democracy"?

The Chinese slaves have accepted a dictatorship while Americans still want representative leaders

Hope this helps

American slaves have accepted a dictatorship while the chinese still want representative leaders.

Makes a similar amount of sense.

Again, your argument does nothing to change my opinion.
