I’m just tired of hearing about how great democracy is when we see shit like this. How can anybody say that this is democratic? The term “democracy” is just a buzzword to describe a country whose political system is dominated by Jews. The will of the people mean nothing in these so-called democracies as this situation proves yet again.
