If you honestly think a military junta would be more representative of the American people than Trump, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Good thing I never made such claim and absolutely nothing on my comment reaches that conclusion, then.

Also our president is not elected via majority (or plurality) vote.

The details about your horrendous electoral system are irrelevant to the point, which by now is very clear you didn’t understand.

You’re not doing much to fight the stereotype of americans lacking basic reading comprehension though.

a huge emphasis on giving the people the power to write their own collective destiny.

A functional democracy is not a dictatorship of the majority, and people from the US love making this mistake. It is true that the president gets elected by a majority vote… but this person now represents everyone, including the minority that opposes them. They do not have the right to sink the ship and kill everyone because the majority thinks that’s a good idea.

It is natural that their government will make decisions aligned with their voters (in theory) but they shouldn’t be allowed to actively undermine the rights of everyone else.

No matter how inflated your perception of your “flawless” constitution and democracy is, this is something many countries understand pretty well and yours struggles with.

They are correct. You’re not wrong, whales are indeed mammals. But “fish” isn’t a monophyletic grouping, meaning you either need to give up on using it as a category or you need to correct it by including everyone sharing the same LCA, meaning mammals would be part of your “fish” grouping.

Of course, that’s how it works within biological classification. Colloquially, you can call them anything.

That’s a whole debate people from the US are not ready for
