I mean... Can Chinese people vote out the current party and pick something else?

Yes? No? No. How the fuck is it a democracy then.

    Given the exponentially oversized influence that rich capitalists have on politics everywhere that is not socialist, it is evidently more democratic to not allow them to participate in politics at all.

    You know, governance of the people, by the people, and all that.

    So then you'd concede Ukraine is not democratic since they can't vote out Zelenskyy, right?

    The point here being - democracy isn't just "the presence of multiple political parties".
