A system that can elect a felon faster than prosecute him is fundamentally broken.
This quote says, in other words, prosecuting a felon always has to take less time than electing him in a system that is not broken. Because, if it sometimes can take longer, then the system is broken according to the quote.
And in fact a system that you agree has fundamental flaws is in fact fundamentally flawed by your own admission.
Because I agree the US system is broken as fuck. But the original quote is still dumb as rocks. Both can be true at the same time.
while making an argument based on words and implications that didn’t exist is a bad look.
Not reading and understanding the whole comment thread before responding is a bad look.
The system [of government, you bafoon]. Stating you dont understand interference probably isn’t going to help you.
It is specifically talking about the system of election and prosecution in this country ironically both executive functions so “the system” is incredibly accurate.
The is the inferred word and notably it doesn’t change the subject or idea if removed. Ie. It’s pointless fluff that context makes redundant.
Ed: like you understand we’re talking about the us system of government specifically prosecution and elections. “A system” in context is “the system” as we don’t have multiple forms of government in the United States. You can imply drug use but that just means you have less of a grasp of English than someone you think is high which is more of an insult to you than it is to me boss.

But it is not removed, it is replaced by “A”, an indefinite article. As in “Any system that satisfies the given condition is broken”.
Words have meaning. You deciding to replace a word for a different word with a different meaning is you misreading. Not inference and everyone else misunderstanding.
So no, the sentence is not talking about the US system specifically, but making an observation about governing systems in general. Which is what I and masterspace disagreed with.

Not at all. That’s arguing one of the two of those things is broken and on this case it’s both.
In this case no, you’re simply making conclusions based on your reading of it not the actual words in it.
Agreed, you should have a look at your comments and take it to heart yourself.
Now I am curios, what does this sentence mean in your head?
That the system is fundamentally broken which you’ve already agreed with.
Ed: curious not curios.
There is no “the system” in that sentence. The sentence is a generalization, not talking about a specific system.

You are hallucinating. There is no “The” anywhere in that sentence. Maybe ease up on whatever you are using.
