At no point did Filipinos have the ability to vote for Senators, Congressmen, or the President. Same for Puerto Ricans. US has other territories too, by the way

At no point did Filipinos have the ability to vote for Senators, Congressmen, or the President. Same for Puerto Ricans. US has other territories too, by the way, with the same restrictions.
You have no problem calling the US a democracy, but when the same rules are applied elsewhere you have a problem?
- lupire 2y agoThe people of PR voted against becoming a State.
- revnode 2y agoAnd if they hadn't, would that make the US less of a democratic republic? Not relevant. Also, see Guam, US Virgin Islands, etc who didn't vote for anything.
- hehdhdjehehegwv 2y agoIt’s incredibly relevant as there has yet to be an election if people in Palestine want to be a part of Israel.
- jonathankoren 2y agoLook, you really like to talk with confidence, but every time you bring up a a point, you pull a whatabout. Have you even looked into what the people you’re so very concerned with want? That’s the most relevant part of all. It’s not your feelings. It’s what the people you say you care about want. It doesn’t appear they want what you want for them, and you’re big mad about that bro. Keep carrying that white man’s burden.
- hehdhdjehehegwv 2y agoI actually don’t think the United States is a functioning democracy for what is worth.
- jonathankoren 2y agoNothing like moving the goal posts, conflating a whole bunch of different issues, and then projecting statements on to me when you’re called out nonsense. Hope that works out for you.
