    Isn’t there only one political party in China? How is that democracy? Not being hostile, genuinely curious how that would work

      You can have disagreements within a single party. Like how in the US they banned communist parties because it didn’t align with the capitalist ideals that all American parties are required to align with.

              It’s like burning down a house and asking what’s the problem after the fire has gone out. Repercussions last a long time. The cultural changes produced go on for generations.

              Anyways, none of that matters cause this is America. We just did the unconstitutional thing at the State level instead.

              Please read and hit me with some more complaints. Maybe if I keep knocking them down you will eventually change your mind :)

                  Before I too let the conversation die I just want to point out how much you devalue “political scare tactics” like they have no effect and can be basically ignored by its targets with no repercussions. I want you to think on that for a while. Figure out yourself why that is a self evidently silly thing to say when discussing how they redefined communist to mean traitor and how that means they actually didn’t ban communism.

                  I bet your a real big fan of the children’s game “I’m not touching you”

          You should also learn that those parties are subsidiaries of CCP, the governing party. They are not actual alternatives.

        And all of those parties are listed as being under the control of CCP. So it is a one party state.
