Here is why Americans socialists hope to emulate Hitler.

A republic is just a flavor of democracy.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the Republic for which it stands.

A patriot understand our Republic.

So why are the Democrats so devoted to calling the US a Democracy?

Democracracies feature voting. But far more than merely voting. The Democracy features the leaders actually consulting the citizens. They seek the advice of citizens on issues. They do not simply get voted in and ignore voters. The USA ignores voters so is a genuine Republic. Republics are not bound to please voters, the republic fights opposition and the winner is who makes laws.

You qualified it is to you.

Why call choice of leaders Democracy? I have seen far to many videos of regular Americans to get the idea they really know what candidates they support really are all about.

Watch Democrats closely.

Yep. the only beef that is semi-legitimate is that it goes to his library when he leaves office in 2032 (Joke intended). But he already has his own plane and since he'll get his 400 million dollar fine by that whack job Erdogan, he can afford to buy a new one on his own anyway.

The Gift must by law go to the American Government. Even Trumps claim it will be in his presidential library may not actually happen. If Qatar is smart, they will donate it today to the library which can later take possession. Trump of course can still use it when it arrives since he is president. Boeing is building another that later when done can be used by Trump.

Germany had that problem too especially from 1933 to 1939. Truth does not matter to you. Propaganda is your tool.

 

[Robert W]

I am not President no have his duties and obligations.

please look up fallacy of false equivalency.

I am not either. When you looked up fallacy and false equivalency what did you discover? Say when Obama released his intelligence report falsely claiming Trump worked for the Russians, were you persuaded by the proven Obama lies?

Bob does not know what is democracy.

Bob really does understand democracy.
Direct democracy is a system of government where citizens participate directly in decision-making, rather than electing representatives to make decisions on their behalf.


Key features of direct democracy:

• Direct Citizen Participation: Citizens vote directly on laws, policies, and other important matters.
• Citizen Assemblies/Meetings: Decisions are often made in open forums where citizens can debate and vote.
• Referendums and Initiatives: Citizens can propose and vote on laws and constitutional amendments.
• Recall Elections: Citizens can remove elected officials from office before the end of their term.

Historical examples:

• Ancient Athens: A prominent example of direct democracy where male citizens over 20 years old voted on all major government issues.
• Switzerland: A modern example of direct democracy where citizens can veto laws passed by the legislature and propose constitutional amendments.

Pros of direct democracy:

• Increased citizen engagement: Direct democracy can foster a more engaged and informed citizenry.
• Government responsiveness: Direct democracy can make the government more responsive to the needs and desires of the people.
• Enhanced legitimacy: Citizens are more likely to accept decisions when they have a direct say in making them.

Easy to say, harder to back up. Are you just hot air or can you point to a lie I've told?

Flynn did not lie. Why must you make false claims? You can't name a Flynn lie.

Do you think it was smart when Obama started the claim that Trump worked for Russia? Do you think Fusion GPS was honest? This was investigated and found to sell false information about Trump.

Bob, he lied.

Your unwillingness to accept that truth is your problem.

Your false whataboutism means nothing.

Not in the slightest.

Spoken like one completely stuck in the matrix. You being an R, think anyone disagreeing with you is a D. Yet amazingly, I’ve never voted for a D in my life.

I’ve never claimed to be an expert and you thinking it takes expertise to see the obvious, is more proof you’re stuck.

Seems a couple here are saying they are not Democrats yet seems they will defend democrats and entertain themselves by hammering Republicans. Thank you for being honest to say you are no expert or even voted for Democrats.

 

[Moonglow]

You are out for YOU. Why did you whine?

I was just breaking yer heart now that you know that Daddy doesn't love yous.

 

[Moonglow]

Far too many words for a simple concept.

The extreme wealthy, their big corporations, and think tanks effectively control Congress and the president to get what they want.

The idea the two parties oppose each other is absurd and is pure theatrics. It’s designed to dupe citizens and it works.

You’re wasting your time watching CSPAN. It is all theatrics.

Why else would they want to raise the debt limit over a trillion bucks?

 

[Moonglow]

Sorry, that's 4 trillion.

 

[Robert W]

Not in the slightest.

Why do you still claim General Flynn lied?

Bob, he lied.

Your unwillingness to accept that truth is your problem.

Got proof?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Why do you still claim General Flynn lied?

Got proof?

Yes, of course, but for you, "no, not just once more." You continued denial is childish.

Folks, alert!!!! Read that dodge and him telling me he will not produce proof. Well did he tell the truth? No he did not.

Lol. So dumb.

I’ve got over 70k posts on this forum. Find one where I’ve defended Ds.

You’ll never get this. You’re too deep in the uniparty matrix.

I oppose both parties because they are essentially the same and are controlled by a small oligarchy. I’ve made that abundantly clear on this forum for years.

Do I need to explain this meme to you…your one of the sheep.

What is your solution since you do not agree with the pair of major parties?
YES, I even am open about abandoning Democrats long ago and supporting Republicans. They are not the same. The principles of Republicans do not mirror the Ds. Why you think they are the same is very puzzling Why lash out at me?
