Don’t be sad, just try posting things that make sense in the context of the conversation.

Yes.
Your failed threads have been.

Perhaps another several year hiatus is in order.

so, you're off topic here too?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Most of these people are incontinent..

Most of you suffer substance abuse.. well you anyway

 

[Orangecat]

so, you're off topic here too?

So, you don’t capitalize the first word of a sentence? At least you were half correct in your comma usage. Otherwise, illiterate imbecile.
Your version of “on topic”:

[Dante Reawakened]

that's like asking a woman if she likes being fondled against her will, just because a man is famous

are you making personal attacks against people here? Is that a benefit of being a Junior High School, Hall Monitor?

Misuse of a comma, btw.

We have held democratic elections since day one

your revisionist shit doesn't even have wings

Revisionist ? The US has been a Constitutional Republic since the beginning. The Founding Fathers loathed Democracies.

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." John Adams

"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison

"Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos." John Marshall

"The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived. " John Quincy Adams

Real liberty is neither found in despotism or the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments.” Alexander Hamilton

“The Republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.” Thomas Jefferson

Constitutional republic? We are a democratic republic. A Constitutional one at that. You're playing with semantics. We have a democratic system. We use a representative democracy, rather than a popular form of democracy. The framers (that won the arguments), but not all of them, despised popular democracy as a system of government. They chose a representative form of democracy. The USA is a republic of course, but that does not negate the rest of what she is

We are not a pure democracy. You can take words out of context all you want, and build your house out of sand. But that is what revisionist bullshitters like you do.

selected quotes? We can be here for a decade going back and forth with the quotes of the framers and then the founding generation. They did not all agree on everything. they compromised. They chose a federalist republic, with a representative democracy. We are a constitutional republic too. But we can play semantics all day long

one interesting bit that many take out of context:

Our American Government​

The foundation of our American Government, its purpose, form and structure are found in the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution, written in 1787, is the "supreme law of the land" because no law may be passed that contradicts its principles. No person or government is exempt from following it.
The Constitution establishes a federal democratic republic form of government. That is, we have an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. It is a democracy because people govern themselves. It is representative because people choose elected officials by free and secret ballot. It is a republic because the Government derives its power from the people.
The purpose of our Federal Government, as found in the Preamble of the Constitution, is to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity." In order to achieve this purpose the Founding Fathers established three main principles on which our Government is based:

• Inherent rights: Rights that anyone living in America has;
• Self Government: Government by the people; and
• Separation of Powers: Branches of government with different powers.

‘America Is a Republic, Not a Democracy’ Is a Dangerous—And Wrong—Argument

Enabling sustained minority rule at the national level is not a feature of our constitutional design, but a perversion of it.

www.theatlantic.com

quotes from 2020: Dependent on a minority of the population to hold national power, Republicans such as Senator Mike Lee of Utah have taken to reminding the public that “we’re not a democracy.” It is quaint that so many Republicans, embracing a president who routinely tramples constitutional norms, have suddenly found their voice in pointing out that, formally, the country is a republic. There is some truth to this insistence. But it is mostly disingenuous. The Constitution was meant to foster a complex form of majority rule, not enable minority rule.

Democracy in the United States

The United States is a representative democracy.

This means that our government is elected by citizens.

Here, citizens vote for their government officials.

These officials represent the citizens’ ideas and concerns in government.

Voting is one way to participate in our democracy.

Citizens can also contact their officials when they want to support or change a law.

Voting in an election and contacting our elected officials are two ways that
Americans can participate in their democracy.
