I’m sorry, what? Are they defining “democratic” to mean that each government has a say, regardless of how democratic that government itself actually is?
Sanctions and wide spread use off the of the dollar needs to be addressed in a global democratic fashion. The USA hasn’t resembled anything near democratic for a bit, yet kill innocent citizens globally in the name of democracy. In the same way each vote should mean something in a democratic country, each country should have a say in what takes place globally. Makes sense when they’re orchestrating multipolar international rule.
US democracy is flawed but still stronger than most BRICS countries. Maybe all of them.
There are many shades of gray on the slide to authoritarianism.
This headline is strange. It doesn’t seem to be a quote that I can find, and none of the proposed policies really would involve more global democracy. They are mostly aimed at increasing the influence of BRICS countries at the expense of the US and its allies.
Giving more of the world’s population a greater say in global governance and decision-making is a great idea. But unfortunately there really is no one trying to push for such a thing currently.
No, really. America has fucked up their democracy… It started good, for sure, but it keeps getting eroded (unrealistic time constraints, arbitrary boundaries and silly vetoes or weightings). I’m just sitting from the hip here, certainly no expert
Tell me, what is the likelihood that a publicly supported measure will become law on a federal level? And what about one that the public doesn’t support?

What fantasy land are you living in?
Russia, probably.

Only white male landowners could vote when it started
That’s a very good point, I do concur. But it used to be a lot better just a (few?) decades ago
…And yet most of the rest of the world is streaking way ahead in terms of basic liberties
You might find this book pretty informative about USA democracy, especially that “few decades ago” period.
