What democracy why does everybody keep saying that we have a democracy or a democratic system? We have a republican system. Do your homework or maybe they didn’t cover that in high school where you went to school at. A republic is a form of government in which citizens elect representatives to govern on their behalf. This is the form of government we have in America!
You are fucking stupid. Do you know what a democratic republic is? Are you having an aneurysm because democracy sounds like democrat? Is that why you’re continuing to push this ridiculous narrative that “the US isn’t a democracy. If it was a democracy then the people I don’t like could vote”
Yeah, we have a Democratic Republic buddy, I know that your party has switched the first word to “Constitutional” instead of Democratic so they can justify whatever they want without popular support, but that’s not gonna work on anyone with more than two braincells to rub together.
We are talking bad on these people because talking bad on these people is a key feature of a functioning democracy. I hate this notion that we can’t be mean to the people who are supposed to represent us. If there’s anyone who deserves the condemnation of the masses when they fuck up, it is politicians.
Okay maybe that’s true. So maybe we should force all the elderly to step down who are majority democrats by the way. I agree that we need a younger cohort in representing us. The old democrats just dont know what to say anymore they are brainwashed. All I’m saying is we shouldn’t be harassing the elderly in public. We need to have respect for them.
I mean, what would be called a “Small R republican” and a “Republican” are entirely different, “small r republican” means “believes in a system of government that is a Republic” whereas “Capital R Republican” means “Member of the Republican Party” and I think taking any party on the definition of its name is fucking ridiculous
I mean, even if I take ideology out of the equation and just talk about practicalities, the fact that when a SCOTUS Justice died with one President, having a YEAR left in office, and he said “we can’t confirm in an election year, we’ll let the people decide” and then when a different President had a SCOTUS justice die mere WEEKS before the election he rushed a pick through, that’s a scumbag move, which I resent.
That’s not our checks and balances. That’s Trump being an asshole and screwing over the American people. No president before him had ever appointed a justice in an election year. Plenty had the opportunity but chose to let the people decide. But we can’t have people criticizing Trump now can we
Claptraps I good one I’m stealing that from you. But what I mean isn’t that I feel bad for him specifically. i know exactly how shitty he is and what he’s done, and I hate him. But watching old people fall takes me out of my rage. I can’t rage while watching someone so old and decrepit turn to dust before my eyes. I feel like I lose dignity when I waste my time hating on a mf like that. But he’s in a political position so he should fuckin take it or retire
