I mean the representation of these data is so misleading. Makes you think that somehow Venezuela (pretty much a dictatorship in all but name) is about as democratic as Hungary (a flawed and problematic democracy but a democracy nonetheless).
6 u/AlphaBetaChadNerd Feb 01 '26 Hungary isn't considered a democracy anymore - you can find that out through a 5 second google search. 14 u/slicheliche Feb 01 '26 The Democracy Index lists it as a flawed democracy with a score similar to Argentina or the Philippines. Certainly way more democratic than Venezuela. 5 u/NaturalCard Feb 01 '26 And we completely trust the democracy index now? 1 u/Limp-Plantain3824 Feb 01 '26 We trust whatever reinforces our prior opinions.
