"Anti-Democracy"? Democracy is actually not an American Principle, the Founders warned against it

[Mr. Friscus]

Of course, they advocated for a representative republic.. but "democracy"? No. Democracy itself is evil.

It gives the right of 2 unified people to kill a third person for whatever reason they desire. AKA "Mob rule".

America is not "mob rule". Sorry Democrats.

 

[scruffy]

Simplistic

Not at all. It's right on target.

Simplistic, ill-informed, poorly camouflaged partisan attack, and quite simply wrong.

Partisan it may be, but wrong it's not.

There's a reason we're a republic.

Absolutely correct...yet mob rule appears to be our future unless the democratic party is destroyed.

I love how you all are too stupid to understand exactly why the Plantation/Slave owning aristocracy was anti Democratic. Haven't sussed that one out for yourselves yet huh?

And once again: The term "democracy" is simply used as an everyday description of vote by the people. It's not meant as a specific definition or specific description of our voting system. Most normally-functioning adults know that.

It's been interesting to watch MAGA try so consistently to belittle the term. Maybe what they want is something other than a vote of the people. That wouldn't be terribly surprising, considering the strongman-based authoritarianism they adore.

It's even dumber than that. Read what they write. Because some Slavers wrote something once they now imagine it's Democracy we have to guard against because that's when wolves and mobs get to have their way with sheep or some such. Slavers said so.

Go ahead and explain WTF you're talking about instead of presenting vague innuendo.

What do you find vague about my post? Of course Slavers are anti democratic. That's a given. People holding other people in forceful bondage are inherently against those people having a say on their own legal status. Fucking DUH! you God damn morons. I guess you really couldn't sus that one out yourselves.

Cool story, asshole.
All you are offering is more flailing and continued innuendo.
Who the FUCK are "slavers" today?
The only entity that comes close to that description is the same that it ever was: The Democrats.

What are you even talking about clown? I'm not calling anyone living today a slaver. The OP was saying the Founders were opposed to Democracy and I'm saying no shit. That sort of goes hand in hand with being a Slaver. Why do you morons want to model our society after their Slaver society where only land owning white males could vote?

That's nice, bingo-boi.
We're a Constitutional Representative Republic, like it or not.

You can call it whatever the fuck you feel like Moron, what you can't do is explain your reasoning or logic for siding with Slavers. Either way I can vote so they lost, ultimately.

I "side" with the people who fought a war to END slavery.
You "side" with the slaver Democrats.
Self-awareness is LOST on your dumb ass.
BINGO!!!!!!

All that is you personally attacking me because you can't explain your logic or reasoning with a good helping of projection on top. First I was supposedly calling someone today a slaver but you are actually suggesting I support slavers because I support democrats, today. Your grasp of logic and reasoning is spectacular.

What?

Well maybe if the dems quit harping on "democracy" while at the same time promoting dismantling the electoral college more folks might not see it as the canard that it is.

The dems are promoting a handful of blue states running the country by popular vote.....Nevermind most of those states are abject failures.

 

[DStar777]

Who are you talking to? There are no slavers here.

 

[Curried Goats]

What?

They lost because I'm not a white man and I can vote.

 

[Redheaded Stranger]

They lost because I'm not a white man and I can vote.

You are white. Try again.

Ok skippy. Go bite at someone else's ankles, I'm out.
