Hey, 'Muricans, how come we need to pressure every company into compliance for you?

Do you really think any average citizen has any say in this whatsoever?

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 59 points 8 months ago

Yes. You're a democracy, right? Right?

[-] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 51 points 8 months ago

On paper yes. In reality...

An electoral democracy, we choose those that make the laws. Due to the 2 party system we don't have many options for when they fail to do what they claim they will.

No, we're a republic.

A true democracy would empower each of us to do as you say, but that's not what's here.

Our republic is quite corrupt due to greed and power, as well... Not as corrupt as many countries out there, mind you, but it's alot worse than it should be.

We're starting to resemble a corporatocracy in many ways these days as a result of all this.

Nah. Those corps will still do it at home or sell it as PR at home.
