Political power is enabled by the barrel of a gun; and the belief in said power.

If either of these fail for a political institution, and no one with a gun restores it, then it simply no longer applies.

If you want your constitution to matter, [censored by .world global rules]; I mean convince the people with guns that you're right.

Racists tend to get defensive when you call them out.

Can you reply in some manner that's close to the conversation we were having?

I'm sorry how long until Clinton 2028 is announced? Anyway xi has genuine party support, given, you know, his policy guidance has allowed China to surpass the us' GDP while increasing the quality of life for citizens at all strata more than any other country in the same time period. That's without bringing up his push for high speed rail, which has allowed more rail to be laid in the last 15 years than the EU and US have in total, combined. Or the green energy mandates which have out paced the entire rest of the world combined...

Successful leaders like xi tend to get reelected.

I can guarantee whatever country you're in is doing worse than China right now.

Sure, the kakistocracy of the US can be called an oppressive democracy since only the rich vote on legislation, but that's different from the peoples parliament which allows anyone to join and have power.

...how do you think people get in power in China, given there are no familial dynasties like the US?
