We Must Protect This Nation from the Folly of Democracy

[Crepitus]

I still say that calling this nation a democracy is like calling a firearm magazine a clip. It is technically wrong.

I understand what you are saying and mean. I just like to use the correct terminology when discussing our government.

If we had a real democracy we would not have the Electoral College. Presidential candidates would not even bother to visit the states with lower population as they would be considered totally unimportant.

Since before VietNam we've been running around the world talking about "spreading Democracy". This "the US isn't a Democracy" thing is very recent and yet another republican attempt at low key fascism.

So any DNC Convention { Democrat National Committee } is not
merely false advertising but an outright attempt to capitalize
on name recognition.I guess it beats the name ... The Whig Party.
Historian Frank Towers wrote that " Democrats stood for the
' sovereignty of the people ' as expressed in popular demonstrations,
constitutional conventions and majority rule as a general rule of
governing,whereas Whigs advocated the rule of law,written and
unchanging constitutions,and protections for minorities interests
against majority tyranny. "
Plus no respectable Whig would ever sit down to dine { eat }
without using a big fluffy napkin around their collar.
Like in the movie ... - Inherit the Wind - { 1960 } where
Lawyer Matthew Brady was a big eater.Had to scarf down
fried chicken like a Hog during breaks in the Trial.
KInda like Joe Biden and Ice Cream cones.

The Fool seems to get all of his information from movies about politics. Reel life isn't real life, Fool.

Again the true problemo with you less than de rigueur
trained Political brats is overwhelming boredom.
Plus there being Literally not a dimes worth of difference
between the lot { Like all the Hosts at MSNBC }.
I mean,i could see them Hosts out fishing and not
gettin' a single bite.Then back at the A-Hole MSNBC watering
hole,the Fish stories get larger by the minute.
It's a world made for pissant bores and toadies.

‘America Is a Republic, Not a Democracy’ Is a Dangerous—And Wrong—Argument

Enabling sustained minority rule at the national level is not a feature of our constitutional design, but a perversion of it.

We must abolish any and all authoritarian policies.

ALL policies are authoritarian, dipshit.

 

[scruffy]

The pseudo intellectual fascination with the concept of a republic is simply a means by which they try to justify minority rule.

No, but it's a quick and convenient way to make leftard heads explode.
