PBS Gets Citizen Question Wrong

[CrusaderFrank]

Who writes this shit for you Frank???? Real people don't talk like this ever. Statanic Overlords????? You're fucking insane. St. Michael didn't slay Satan. He threw him out of Heavan. St. George didn't slay a dragon either. That's a myth as well.

Get out among people. You'll be better off for it.

You're so observant!

You're the new Sherlock Holmes!

 

[Captain Caveman]

Wrong again. We are a constitutional Republic. You submit to lies.

Like most countries, the US is a mix of systems. It's not a pure republic and it's not a pure democracy. The US is really a representative democracy because the citizens vote and elect representatives to make the laws on their behalf.

No. CNN is a wing of the DNC, not the government.

We're a Republic (if we can keep it)

He doesn’t recognize the American FORM of government and he certainly won’t recognize your allusion to BF.

Idiot, what don't I recognize?

America is a republic just as it is a representive democracy.

democracy and republic are frequently used to mean the same thing: a government in which the people vote for their leaders.

Democracy or Republic: What's the difference?

A case can be made for either

Yep. You’re an idiot.

It seems that you are also uneducablvy mentally retarded. But one more try:

The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a “Constitutional Republic.” Because of that, we are not in any way (meaning “form of government”) a “democracy.” (We do employ elements of democracy, but we are absolutely not a “democracy” in ANY correct and meaningful use of that term.

Dumbass how about you actually read and meaningfully respond to what you quote?

Representative democracy is people voting for their REPRESENTATIVES who govern them, same as republic. You want to add Constitutional modifier? Sure you can add it to both.

So in what fucking way are we NOT a representaive democracy?

 

[BackAgain]

Dumbass how about you actually read and meaningfully respond to what you quote?

Dumbfucker, how about being accurate?

Are you capable of ever understanding that the American form of government is a Constitutional republic?

Representative democracy is people voting for their REPRESENTATIVES who govern them.

We are not a representative democracy (we aren’t a democracy at all). Even our representatives don’t legislate based on “democracy.” Why not? Because they are constrained and prevented from doing so by the American Constitution.

In what fucking way are we NOT a representaive democracy?

See above. Again? You low information spot: while we do make some limited use of the principles of democracy, it simply is not our FORM of government.

Calm your stupid and ignorant ass down — and try to learn.

Constitutional is a type of representative democracy just as it is a type of a republic… because both terms simply mean that people vote for their governing representatives dumbass.

There is nothing about a country having a constitution that is contradictory to country being a representative democracy.

So again - in which way are we NOT a representative democracy?

 

[BackAgain]

Constitutional is a type of representative democracy

Wrong, ya shithead.

A Constitutional republic is a type of a republic.

just as it is a type republic… because both terms imply that people vote for their representatives dumbass.

We, in America, do vote for representatives in this Constitutional republic, ya flaming fuckstick. We still aren’t a democracy at all. Again: our representatives aren’t even allowed or legislate on a variety of matters since our Constitution keeps them reined in. Not a democracy.

So again - in which way are we NOT a representative democracy.

We are a Constitutional republic.

Your question is simply lacking any foundation in reality.

I realize you didn’t claim that we are an unqualified democracy. We aren’t and I appreciate that you grasp (minimally) that much, you ignorant shallow twit. However, in any democracy, the people or their representatives could vote on any damn social issue or economic issue of their choosing. But they can’t in America. Some things are simply out of bounds by virtue of our Constitution.

We simply are not a democracy at all our form of government is what it is.

It is not what you falsely and ignorantly claim.

Why don’t you simply google the words “constitutional representative democracy” and realize that what you are posting is laughable nonsense.

In modern world the word democracy refers to countries with constitution, where people vote for governing representatives. Direct democracy has been relegated to ancient times, along with not-constitutional governing.

Why don’t you simply seek a remedial education?

As I noted previously, it appears that yiu are educably mentally retarded.

 

[AntonToo]

1. Source that claim

2. People and their representatives in US can vote on just about any damn social issue, because they can vote on constitution itself through amendment process.

Great argument moron.

This is the relevant Yale published material I’ve covered in college:

Now let’s see you show any sort of serious academic material claiming that US is not a type of democracy.

 

[BackAgain]

1. Source that claim

I have — repeatedly.

Now it is high time for you to apply yourself to the very best of your tragically limited capability and get your remedial education. Stop asking others to do the homework you can’t do. Study. Learn.

2. People and their representatives in US can vote on just about any damn social issue, because they can vote on constitution itself through amendment process.

You are wrong. Again. Continually.

Until and unless the rather cumbersome mechanism for passing a Constitutional Amendment in America is undertaken and such an amendment passes, of course, there are indeed bars against the people or any of their representatives from voting on numerous issues.

One of the may proofs that we are not a “democracy.” Your ignorance continues.

No surprise.

Take a Citizenship Quiz | CONSTITUTION USA with Peter Sagal | PBS

One of the questions was: What type of government is America (something like that) and the 4 possible answers were:

1. Monarchy
2. Progressive Fascism
3. Democracy, or
4. Republican

The correct answer is that we are a Republican form of government, but the Progressive Fascists at PBS say that we are a "democracy"

Do people really care about this kind of semantic argument in ‘Politics’? Been done to death, IMO, and doesn’t add anything to the truh of Trump’s age and corruption!

What the fuck were you doing?

I was learning. Correctly.

Any of you idiots can now link to shit published by Yale. That doesn’t make it correct.

It is a certainty that I could forget more about the American Constitution and the American Constirutional republic than you’ve ever been able to learn or comprehend.

Whites are the majority in this country. You need to go back to school.

Whites will be a minority in your lifetime. This is why we see MAGA.

And you can thank these old racists who who won't be around at that time who race baited you into clamoring for an end to DEI and Affirmative Action when you're 33 and don't get hired because the brown skin majority have most of the jobs.
