Breaking coup attempt in Venezuela.

Not a gut feeling or innuendo. But a statement made after years of observation and inference.
Which can be wrong. And in this case, it is wrong.

Of course there is "deliberateness."
Fine. Then show how is FPTP as practiced in the US enabled both the Democratic and Republican parties exclude the CPUSA (or any other party) out of the Congress. Show the electoral mechanism(s), the cheats, the lies, etc.

The reality is democracy is a farce.

That being said, the alternatives are far worse.
If the alternatives are worse, then by pragmatism, what remains are good. It is only the pretentiously cynical would say otherwise. In other words, make the best of what you got.

It sounds contradictory.
Sure does.

USA cannot start wars in Western Europe or Japan
Why should it when both continents are fully in line with US' ideology and values? u just gave evidence for what i asserted.

A unpopular leader with support of an army can rule indefinitely over a populace.
what do you actually mean by unpopular? because in reality Assad and Maduro have at least 50% support in their countries, but their opposition is sizeable(and the West magnifies it- good example: during Ahmadinejad's era when there were protests, opposition people fielded a protest of 500K people, but some weeks later the non-opposition protests mustered a million or 2 in their own counter protest, but the West will only show you the opposition's protests in their media).

Especially if they are willing to kill their own countrymen
this means nothing when there's no context provided.

USA could have better results for the amount of money spent on healthcare

"Assad and Maduro have at least 50% support in their countries"
you have no evidence for it

Maduro's 2018 "election" was not recognized by major democracy - USA, Europe and Latin America

Most of the countries that recognized his election are of questionable credentials - Turkey, Syria, North Korea, Egypt, Belarus, Vietnam, Russia, Cuba, China

LOL at gambit the Vietnamese American delivering a lecture on American political theory :rofl:

Ok if you say so.

Fine. Then show how is FPTP as practiced in the US enabled both the Democratic and Republican parties exclude the CPUSA (or any other party) out of the Congress. Show the electoral mechanism(s), the cheats, the lies, etc.

Show me the money.

LOL. No. Just no. The lesser of two evils is still evil. (Not that I am calling democracy evil.)

Finally, I am defnitely cynical. But never pretentious.

In anycase, I can see we are gonna have to agree to disagree here.
