Most definitely. However, we weren’t discussing about threats to democracy at all from A or B.

Okay.
You said “I can vote for whomever”. Then you rectified “My point is…. There is no threat to democracy here.”
I will leave it at that.

r/india was anti Manmohan Singh when Congress led collation was ruling.
Disliked MMS due to silent attitude where his comment as a person in designation is warranted on deserving topics and situations.
But now, as a result, there are no credible comments against ruling collation, aka there are no valid opposition, which is serious problem for the country.
A politically weak MMS led us to a strong current system which made citizens' voices weaker due to lack of opposition (as party in opposition, erstwhile MMS lead collation still does not evoke voice of credible opposition).
Opposition is betting on anti-incumbency factor now, than how to properly politicize a country thus leading it's citizens to progress.

Nobody said this when Congress was winning non stop from '47 to' 77. And then from '80 to '99 and if that wasn't enough '04 to '14.
Total of 60 years Congress rule for 78 yr old country.
Why was this lengthy rein by one party not a "serious problem for the country" ?
Consider Japan. Most say it is democratic. Been ruled since by just one party. They have others but only one party wins with a minor exception a decade ago.
So we can say Japan is a one party state. Know who else is a one party state.
South Africa.
Nothing lasts forever.

Butting in because there isn't enough controversial takes in this thread as it is.
Left vs Right vs Everyone vs Isms vs Ists — all of that is insignificant squabbles when you understand everyone is just as patriotic as you are. That's a common ground every citizen shares, we all want India to prosper.
How that is done is where the differences lie and ultimately, doesn't matter.
There is determinist wisdom with time being both linear and non-reversible, so questioning "what if" is an intellectual exercise at best. The path taken is the best that could have been taken and the only one that could've been taken. Whether someone ascribes to this or rejects it is irrelevant as neither is required to validate it.
Also, I appreciate the irony of bringing up yet another criteria to disagree on, ha.
So if you take it as a given that a country progresses regardless of whatever idealogy is in government, then why wouldn't you want the way forward to be memorable/entertaining/chaotic?
That's why I believe voting based on self-interest is a farce. If I voted, it would be purely based on what would cause the most ripples.

My favourite places were /bakc*odi and /c*odi
But both the subs were nuked out of the orbit by brigaders from /india
Tbh before 2014, /india used to be a neutral place where they really celebrated India and it’s achievements. But after 2014, something drastically changed behind the scenes there and they started banning pro India posts. I have read several times that few mods of /india are Pakistanis who also manage /worldnews

Case in point: Look at what's fueled discussions over the last twenty-four hours in American politics.
It's a brilliantly chaotic masterpiece.

MAGA & Tech faction of Trump supporters are squabbling over H1B. The Tech side wants to increase H1B caps. The MAGA side is against it.

The political landscape drastically changed after Indian accepted globalization in 1990s.
South Africa is not at all in great shape, countries like Japan, Singapore, Israel, etc. are outliers, not easy comparisons vs India which is extremely diverse.
But after effects last for a long time.

Oh the immigration thing. Check out Kaizens take. Been following this guy after some one posted from his twitter
Sentence that stands out
What's that verdict? So far things are looking positive. The facts are the facts.
Either defend your strengths or risk losing the laptop class to offshoring.
A third of positions are unfilled. That is with the present system. So reducing numbers was off the table at the outset
Made for good alarmist click bait though
How to tell the difference between Indian & Indian. Specify whether feather or dot
I don't see why globalisation matters here. A lengthy rein by one party is usually detrimental.
Take 7 terms ('77 to 2011) of non stop commie rule and you understand why WB which was an industrial powerhouse back in the day has been reduced to its present state.
Cal used to be THE capital of India until the Brits shifted it to Delhi. All to say this state has seen waaay better days.
And that won't change until the ANC is kicked out or reforms itself due to a financial crisis.

Please, somebody put that on a T-shirt.
Somebody lost a job? Wife asking for divorce? Everything on that Subreddit boils down to Hindu vs. Muslim. A perfect application of the divide and conquer policy.
Oh, my dear goodness. Pakistan Bangladeshi people are also suffering from Nirmala Tai taxation and the failing infra of the country. I guess the Akhand Bharat plan is in motion.

That's a picture perfect viewpoint, but it side-steps the actual issue completely. It's not about culture, it's about money.
It's been a long con: spending $44B on twitter and two years shifting the narrative to get the former president re-elected to enact policies that would bring huge returns for that $44B and two years.
H1B salaries start at the prevailing rate for a position (they're public information), but advancement is extremely limited since they're tied to the employer. The employee is practically indentured in a position that absolutely will not scale as significantly when compared to American citizens in identical positions. The returns come from the "security" in having 10,000 engineers being paid $150K per year for the next X years, with the absolute minimal yearly increment. A workforce that's "motivated" because they have no other option.
But if they were citizens, they'd have the freedom to jump to a better paying employer whenever and as often as they'd want to, so the workforce isn't consistent and the financials aren't as rosy when you're trying to retain those kind of employees. We saw a mass exodus of talent from twitter when it was acquired. The fact that it didn't make any difference should've sent out alarm bells as to what the long con was going to be.
By having a larger pool of H1B, they can also afford to lay off employees that have reached a certain threshold in compensation and replace them with newer ones that start at the base level. Tesla laid off 14.5K employees earlier this year and requested 2405 fresh H1B's in that same time period.
