CPAC: Speaker pledges end of American democracy to wild applause.

That's why we are a Republic, which is a REPRESENTATIVE Democracy instead of a Direct Democracy.

We stopped being a Republic in 1913. It took time, a couple of amendments and abuse of the fiat currency to acclimate us to it.

/——/ Read Article 4 section 4 of the Constitution. The word democracy does not appear anywhere in the constitution.

Section 4​

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Franco isn't too smart. He misses most things. Mainly because he is a little hater dupe.

democracy is used as a description..... Any form of government that has representatives made of the people, is a small D, democracy... Parliamentary, Republics, even Monarchys can be a democracy if the people have representatives they elect, in their government.

Or

Big D, Democracy, a Direct Democracy form of government.


Fyi, there are no Nations with a Direct Democracy form of government on our planet, that I am aware of existing....


We agree how our government operates within our Republic, we just are simply not agreeing on the definition of a word....

/——/ Yeah, conflating democracy with republic is a popular commie talking point used to undermine our electoral college.

Link, dupe?

One man's opinion. Probably a far-right fascist. The Constitution supports a democracy not a fascist state.

Voluntary ignorance indicates self-inflicted pain. But not the sort of pain that appreciates sympathy & remedy but rather hates it as much as they hate those who are willing to provide it.

we are a constitutional republic, which is a constitutional republic,,

and that is nothing like a democracy of any kind,,

Then let me ask, is there any Nation among all Nations in this World, that is a Democracy? Name names.

why in the world would I waste my time with what other countries systems are??

maybe you should start doing the same beings you dont even know what our system is,,

or is it just another case of refusing to even say the word constitution let alone acknowledge we have one??

That's a fact. I don't know if it's supposed to be but it sure ain't.

 

[surada]

We are a Republic. The word democracy is not in the Constitution.

Democratic People's Republic of South Korea... You like to play games?

Because, under your definition of Democracy,

there are no Democracies in this entire world. Not a one!

so maybe you should ask yourself, what is everybody talking about when they speak about different Countries being democracies.....

it is clearly not what you claim is a Democracy, because there are none, zip, zero that meet your perceived definition.

I didnt give a definition of democracy,,

why are you so afraid of our constitution that you cant even say the word??

 

[MagicMike]

The word democracy does not appear anywhere in the constitution.

The words AR-15, Semi-automatic handgun, high capacity magazine, or even shotgun do not appear anywhere in the Constitution either.
So are you saying these things aren't covered by The Second Amendment?
According your own logic the only "arms" covered by the 2A should be flintlocks.

two completely different things,,

it doesnt say "arms that existed in 1791"

but it does say a republic form of government,,
