Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No one uses that word, if it is one. But the question appears meaningless in the context of the question, buoyed as you may be by half wits following the flock.
Every single group of people could be discounted blaming them for their government. Every single one, including yours. People are not responsible for other people, it's not about country, or race, it's about class.

You don't know who the suverain in the democracy is suppose to be? And you didn't even care about it enought to google it? I see why they can do all of this to you with so little effort now.
It is a nonsensical argument, as I laid out. Pigheaded. Unhelpful to anyone other than the ones responsible for your anger in this situation.
Is US a democracy?
Democracy is a nebulous word, it's a representative government with severe oligarchic rot. As your country is too I am sure. It could hardly not be.
So... "No".
Did you miss the other half of the argument? If your country is not ruled by your people than you are not responsible. But you can't be trusted, becouse your system can't be trusted.
And of of course each democracy have problems. But do you even strive to be one? Your entire reaction after learning that your "representative" is planing to betray your allies was "what else is new"?
Did you truly excausted all your options? Truly? If you are opresed and affraid and unable to change it... OK. I get it and its fair. You are not reaponsible, you are a victim. But you should at a very least drop the cavalier atitute about it.
As to the reaction of the president's bullshit being what's new, you are just now realizing it's going to be like this.
I knew it July 2024. I am long passed the other phases of anger and bargaining and the like. 2028 is the only chance, and it's hopeless with the dem establishment leading the opposition and people still trust them somehow.
I do what I can to unseat the establishment that is doomed to fail, and it earns me nothing but grief. I know it won't work but I try anyway because I have to. I don't know what you expect us to do.
And what did you acctualy do since july 2024? At minimum I expect you to put political and economical pressure trough consumer chooces, every institutional path at your disposal and civil disobedience.
