Clearly elections are meaningless in the USA.Are there even any direct democracies still in existence?Why would the word democracy make me think of a long gone ancient civilization before i think of our very own democratic elections?
Oh my God. Burp.
Oh my God. Fart.
So if I have enough money I can make you vote my way?
Exactly. Makes about as much sense.
hahaha dems have used violence against their political rivals and weaponized the executive against them when they had the power for over a century
The only part I disagree with. In a democracy individual rights are not protected unless the majority says they are. In a Republic they are protected.
How could you not know we live in a failed state? A quasi fascist oligarchy!
I doubt you understand what those words really mean.
Sad that we can’t even agree on the truth.
Depends, what's your offer? That aside, you could donate to both sides to hedge your bets.
Many wealthy corporations and people do. Money talks. Most people don't contribute enough to buy influence.
What does this sentence mean? What fact are you talking about? I never disagreed that their ancient direct democracy was the first recorded instance of a direct democracy. What I questioned was whether the word "democracy" as I used it implied a reference to that ancient civilization.
And yet when I say "we" are a democracy you should know that I'm referring to our representative democracy rather than saying we are an ancient civilization. If you don't, that's really your mental issue, not mine.
its the core of our problems because cowards have surrendered their freedom to those fascist oligarchs you speak of,,
I am terrified of it because it has caused so many deaths,,
No one is scared of the word. The way it is being used and defined is a joke. Democracy is no more than mob rule.
Why are you clowns so afraid of the word democracy? It's really weird. I honestly don't get it. Is it because it triggers you all into thinking of the Democratic party? Please, please tell me its that simple.
The founders used gold and silver as a currency backing and restricted voting to certain groups whether that was right or wrong. It kept the Republic until 1913 despite a lot of outside interference from globalist interests. What happens is that when a fiat currency is introduced the politicians who may be corrupted but with far little resources to work with become enamored in expanding the fiat currency to the point it surpasses balanced budgets and then runs deficits and then massive deficits. The people voting then vote for people who expand programs. We have been doing it for at least a half century. The currency starts to wobble with all the debt accruing and it can only be straightened out so many times. Our real growth is not very high for the last half century averaged out. Democracy is used by the politicians because once we elect them, they do what we see now. on the Prog side they are screwing over the people for the Prog Socialist Party agendas. A few decades ago Clinton changed course. Biden seems he will not.

We were a Republic when we had slaves. Yes?
We are a Republic period. I know you democrats hate you aren't allowed to keep your slaves
You were not going to get that document without it. You must believe that documents for freedoms just printed out of thin air like a fiat currency. We have been discussing the downside to it for many years. The Prog guilt trip as it were. Cry me a river while destroying others. We even have pains with it during our existence. You need a Soviet Union constitution. Plenty of strong and nice words for the citizens.
