The US is not a Democracy

Technically correct in that it's a Republic. Same thing applies

No deference to the systems we grow up in? No ability to understand context?

People who can soley understand the system they grew up and not improve it are the issue, yes

I didn't realize all I had to do was "talk" to have my material needs met. To have my ideas as part of the political conversation.

Freedom of speech is quite literally about immaterial needs, not material ones. There is no right or reason to have a right to include all views in politics.

How did you get there? I need you to understand that is a privilege not all of us have.

By voting? People voted to spend government money to even harms done in the past. That's not privilege; that's a choice made when voting. Not sure what you mean by neighbors having a different reality, my neighbors are getting bettered by good governance because we voted for good politicians

Nah. Actually, it does not represent you, what you care about, or anything about you. Quit simping for your own destruction.

By voting?

Oh. You're not serious. Thanks for the notice to block you.

And you are, citing that? Lol
