    US has term limits and doesn’t even permit a “leader for life.”

    Lol. Lmao even.

    US has a broader international identity

    I would say “lol, lmao even,” but the horrors inflicted on all the non-whites in the US is not a laughing matter.

    and is much less isolationist.

    Sure would be better if it was.

      Everything I said is true and you didn’t refute any of it. You do realize that, if you have nothing to say, you don’t have to post, right?

      Trump has been leader for 5 years, and will cease leadership in 3 years. Xi has been in power since 2012 and can be leader for the rest of his life.

      Now please explain how US is NOT less isolationist than China. This should be good. 🤣

        You imply that it is good to have term limits, despite the fact that it is clearly un-democractic to limit who the people can vote for. If the people like someone and think they should continue their work, they should be allowed to do so. [EDIT:] And if China did have term limits… what would it change? Xi ends his terms and then what? Someone else will simply step up.

        I didn’t say it wasn’t. I said it would be better if it was.

          No. I implied that it’s not fascistic to have term limits (or less fascistic). I don’t think I said anything was good or bad.

          You’re implying that being un-democratic is a bad thing. The US Constitution is also un-democratic, as it doesn’t permit the voting majority to violate the rights of the minority. And I doubt you would consider such mob rule of the majority to be a good thing. Or do you?

            being un-democratic is a bad thing

            Do you think so?

              So not allowing the majority to enslave the minority is bad? It’s clearly un-democratic.

                  Well, I’m against slavery. So I guess our preferences just fundamentally differ.

                    It is not undemocratic to ensure the rights of the people.

                    And I do not want the enslavement of people.
