        The U.S. is much more preferable than a democracy. Democracy as a form of

    last I checked, we're still having elections and the current crew are
there
    because
    they were voted in 'democratically'. I see no evidence that
'democracy' has

        The US is now classified as a "deficient democracy," number 36 in a
    ranking of 176 countries.

        Classified by whom? What are their credentials? What are their biases? Why
  is
    their opinion supposed to be considered fact?

How are they "leftist"?

 Oh, you mean they're the rare conservative university faculty? Much rumored to
exist but rarely, if ever, seen in the wild.

So, you mean "leftist academics" to be a tautology ...got it.  Let's just ignore how their report appears to be transparently objective and unbiased because, after all, it *couldn't* be, right?
