Ah yes, policies that would have been considered downright progressive 70 years ago are apparently a dictatorship today.

Say what you will about American policies in the 50s, yes they were racist, yes they were sexist, and many other things. But I don't believe it is really arguable that the US was a dictatorship at that time. Less democratic than it is currently, sure. Not a dictatorship.

Locking this post, the amount of reports and uncivil pissing matches is getting to be more than we can address in a timely fashion.

Yeah, how exactly independent are supposed to do something that reflects public interests for once if you don't even consider voting independent?
