I included the response I would have sent, were the thread not locked. This is how coward libs argue. They’re calling the well-known study by Purdue demonstrating that the US is a oligarchy a “far left news source”, for context.
The constant use of violence to suppress ethnic minorities and the working class is regrettable to libs.
They don’t support it in a spiritual sense which means they can absolve themselves of the stain of it while still enjoying the benefits of it.
We’re a republic democracy. Why does this part always get dropped?
Because it doesn’t actually indicate anything about the operation of a democracy? All republic means is that there’s no monarch and no explicit hereditary nobility. We are a republic, but we are not a democratic republic. Democracy demands that the actions and policies of the government reflect the will of the people. It does not mean votes get cast at some point for something, or basically every country on earth is a democracy.
Im sorry, youre right, i used the wrong word. We’re a representative democracy. :)
Formally, yes, but for that to be genuine the policy results of that need to reflect the will of the people, and they don’t. Again, basically every country on earth has a process of electing representatives. In most, the end results have little to nothing to do with the popular will.
I used the wrong word, I meant representative, not republic, though we still are a republic.
Republic means that we don’t have monarchy, and we’re ruled instead by a constitution of law.
Representative democracy is when the population votes on representatives to vote in their place at the federal level. Each state has at least one representative, but will have more based on population. CA as the highest populated state has 52 representatives that vote, while Whyoming, the least populated state, has 1.
Of course the united states is a democracy. Democracy is awful, we do not want democracy.
You know, i’m starting to think that nobody to right of Lenin even know what the word “democracy” means.
That’s not a mod though? Wondering why you’d claim they were when the mod list for 196 is publicly accessible.
I assumed they were because they are responding in a thread that I cannot even view, much less comment in. All of my comments there aren’t even in my profile. And this is before defederation.
