A friend in Iceland put on a forum we’re both on that he won’t visit any country that isn’t a democracy, “possibly not even the U.S.”
I told him there’s no possibly about it. We started with counting some citizens as only 3/5ths human and when that stopped and those people got the right to vote, everything that can be done to suppress that right has been going on ever since.
If the vote is being suppressed, I wouldn’t call the U.S. a democracy.
