The USA is the biggest meddler in elections and both parties gleefully indulge. Is it perhaps a good idea for the USA to set an example for democracy now? It might not be too late to save their reputation and do the right thing.
Or should the USA continue to meddle where they believe democracy has failed their best interests?
The reputation for meddling is quite secure, the quality of the meddling needs to lift, it’s pretty ham fisted especially domestically.
The US will continue to act in whatever is perceived as the current administrations best interests, but as usual that influence is best expressed via trade and diplomacy rather than electoral interference.
The Republicans successfully stopped a vote count and thus won a presidential election, that was very successful. And those responsible are doing well now.
My question is whether it is really in the best interests of the USA to spurn democracy. Are you agreeing it isn’t?
The US needs happy, aspirational customers and prosperous bankers.
The sociopolitical environment they operate within is not particularly relevant except that the track record of democratic countries is better for longer than the alternatives.
