Topic: The "Democratic" Republic of the Congo

Electoral autocracy: there are elections, you can vote, there are ten parties, they all have seats in government, but "the sacred union of the nation" coalition wins more than 90% of the seats in parliament and the president wins 73% of the vote.

"On election day, the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), in violation of electoral law, extended voting to 21 December for polling stations that had not opened on 20 December. Some polling stations stayed open on their own accord for up to six extra days."

hey, if political assholes use the name National Socialists to "prove" that Nazis aren't really fascists, then that Congo must be a fucking democracy

I mean, people just can't name something and not live up to it can they

@previous (boof)
German has a long history with this. Take the Holy Roman Empire which was not holy, Roman, or an empire.

Tbh given slavery and segregation and all that I’m kinda surprised America didn’t turn out like the DRC from the get-go democracy-wise.
