		malermeister on May 19, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead" The Comission is appointed by directly elected governments, e.g. with one proxy in-between. It is as (un-) democratic as the American Presidency, considering the Electoral College. Yet you never hear complaints about the EC from the same types that love to rally against the Commission.

Actually, you do, all the time. Yes, they are both undemocratic institutions and that should be changed.
