That is the legacy of the Democratic Party and they are turning to racism yet again. America was 'racist; in the past, as was every country in the world, and most still are. But when is the Left going to stop beating up on the world's greatest democracy for something that happened before most of them were even born?

If you have a reason to continue to blame America for its past, rather than looking to its future, let's hear it.

By what measure is America the world's greatest democracy? A great democracy is characterized by people accepting the outcome of elections, with the losing party graciously (and peacefully) handing over power to the winning party with virtually no one doubting the outcome of the election.

Now, I think a great argument could be made that America WAS the world's greatest democracy. But WAS is a verb used to describe what as past, not what we have become. America is the world's greatest democracy in much the same way the Albert Pujols or Miquel Carberra are the most feared hitters in baseball. The are if you live in the past.

Since the outrage of your post is about living in the past, I suggest you take your own advice here. If you wish to quibble with my point, then present evidence that America IS the world's greatest democracy.

According to WeForum, America is considered a "flawed democracy" with many shinning examples ahead of it.

You don't believe the USA is a great democracy because an election is being questioned? That's ignoring past elections and trivializing the standards. You are being misled.

Your list is not of the greatest democracies at all; they are just other democracies with no responsibilities - and all White.
