What exactly did they think was going to happen.

[bigrebnc1775]

Do we have democratic elections in this country? It's a very simple question. I'm going to guess you're too much of a coward to answer honestly.

We have a republican form of elections ruled by laws.

 

[Curried Goats]

In a democracy the majority can over ride rules and a constitution.

We can also "over-ride" the constitution with amendments passed by a super majority.

Good thing we follow the Constitution and never have had a DIRECT democracy then huh

 

[bigrebnc1775]

But not the collective WILL of any minority

Yes the minority will only have their rights protect in a REPUBLIC.

Sorry dumbass that's how a democracy works. No protection of rights for the minority.

 

[Lesh]

In a representative democracy and even there it is a slow and cumbersome process.

Ask women or gays or black folks

I knew you were too much of a coward to answer honestly but go ahead and tell me, what are republican forms of elections? I've never heard of that before.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Good thing we follow the Constitution and never have had a DIRECT democracy then huh

That's because we are a REPUBLIC

 

[Curried Goats]

If they have a Constitution that says so why not? Do think the United States is the only country with a Constitution?

No such thing. Quote the pledge of allegiance I'd democracy pops up I will shut up.

What you want is for a minority PARTY. To have control.

The Founders HATED the very idea of parties( factions)

Constitutions mean nothing in a democracy.

 

[Curried Goats]

Because you say so?

Rule by law Republic.

 

[Curried Goats]

Because you say so?

You know there's also constitutional monarchies right?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Because you say so?

No that's how a democracy works rule by the majority.

 

[BackAgain]

USA is a democracy.

Wrong. We are a republic.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

You know there's also constitutional monarchies right?

Sure and we aren't a monarch.

 

[Curried Goats]

No that's how a democracy works rule by the majority.

Every country has rules on how they operate. A Democracy isn't some inherent evil boogeyman and Constitutional Republics aren't always great. America at its start was a Constitutional Republic and a Slave State.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

They also loved slavery and thought the idea of women and poor people voting to be ridiculous, so you know, maybe they aren't the best representation of your political views, unless you get down with sort if shit.

And Democrats where the authors of Jim Crow and the KKK we can play this game all day long to try and discredit each other, but that does not change the fact that the US is a Constitutional Republic.
