Our Democracy

[Unkotare]

Then why are their so many stupid twits who voted for Joe Biden? Explain that one?

People are stupid. Doesn’t mean they were never taught.

We are tenuously clinging to democracy while Repubs surreptitiously try to roll back voting rights for likely Dem voters.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, I don't think you read my post. We have had democracy for over 200 years with the voting rights the way they were for over 200 years.

Republicans are oppressive. Im interested in DEMOCRACY. In particular ours.

Democracy means those who infected the political class come to power and then push their ways to "change" the constitution. Original amendments have been watered down a bit with some later ones designed to bring socialism to the nation with authoritarian government.

Except for voting rights of non-land owners, blacks, Native Americans, women, 18 year olds

 

[Peach45]

Oh yes I can.

Watch me

You’re 1 vote. Not enough

Exactly.

They dont understand (or they don’t like) the fact that our democracy isnt a democracy until everyone has the same power that they’ve always reserved only for themselves. We are ensuring equity first and we arent done yet. Once we have true equality then and only then will our democracy be fully formed.

Ummmmmmmmmmm, wasn't it still called a democracy? Aren't we a democracy today because we have been a democracy for over 200 years? Democrats are claiming that we are losing our democracy. We haven't lost it in over 200 years.

I've never been more in fear of losing our Democracy. The Republicans insurrectionist instincts on our democracy is the true threat our democracy faces. They want our democracy overthrown. If we dont'protect our democracy by ensuring democratic voting rights that will enshrine our democracy in integrity we will lose our democracy.

The Elite's Electorate

Democracy is majority rule. Under a republic, no one rules except the politicians. Electing isn't voting; it means giving up your right to vote on the issues to a tiny bipartisan and pre-owned oligarchic clique.

The most important criterion for a democracy would be a national referendum on who can vote and who can come into the country to eventually become a voter. We never had that right, so all elections are nullified. The Popular Vote isn't Populist, and hasn't been since the 1960s. So it is meaningless not because of the Electoral College, but because the "Democratic" Party's voters are incapable of making political decisions.

White Man's Undeserved and Crippling Burden

Equality has no place in a democracy. It shows poor judgment to believe that every group is equally beneficial to the whole. And that definitely leads to a Zero Sum outcome, so everybody is leveled down to the lowest common denominator and the society slowly decays and suddenly collapses.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

You do that.

Drama queen.

The United States is a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy you may now continue with the partisan idiocy.

 

[Mac-7]

Trump declared the election fixed in 2016
When he unexpectantly won, his concerns disappeared

I dont remember it that way

But trump definitely won with little support from the corrupt republican swamp rats

Hey Stupid, we are not a Democracy. We are a Representative Republic.

Your premise is faulty.
Our Democracy is actually a Representational Republic!
Go back to school.
Thanks!

A Republic is a form of Democracy
It means We the People vote for those who represent us

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Hyperbole

The true threat to democrat democracy is that democrats will lose elections and be democratically thrown to the curb.

Only in a geographical prescribed collective sense. It isn't one man, one vote.
Maybe you should hold the OP's books when she returns to school. You might benefit, too.

My force amplification is about a million to 1 on a good day.

But don't be fooled, no one's deluded about the nature of the task.

Unfortunately for you, there are another 75, maybe 80 million people who think exactly like I do.

The lefties are in BIG trouble, at this moment. It's everything I can do to control my own people, they want to tear your asses apart NOW

Cooler heads still prevail. For the moment.

"Our Democracy"

Oh yeah!

I'm so damn old I can remember experiencing that!
