Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner

A republic just means there's no king. A democracy means people vote. We're both.

No, a Republic means that the people rule, not the government. We use democracy to determine who our government is, but it takes a 3/4 vote of the people and the government to change our constitution which is the highest law of the land.

In a Republic, everyone is equal under the Law. In Democracy, every vote counts equally.

In America, currently, our votes are not counted equally and our leaders are not held to the same standard of Law. I don't know what kind of government we actually have, but it isn't a Republic or a Democracy.

So you just admitted you're a democracy.

No we use a democratic process to elect our leaders.

Which makes you a democracy.

Nope. We are a republic.

You elect your representatives and leaders. You're a democracy.

Nope because we the people don't vote on laws, and there are some things that can't be changed.

That has no bearing on whether or not you're a democracy. Don't narrow the definition to "own the libs". You're just making yourself look stupid.

A Republic is a form of democracy, genius. This is basic English, and not a matter of opinion. Good grief.

There are republics that are not democracies. It was more common in medieval history but there are still some around.

The distinction is more that republic is a what while democracy is a how. People try to argue that one is a subset of the other and that's not quite right.

Yep. The old Soviet Union consisted of many republics.

An entire union of them, if you will.

What he really said is if you don’t get your way it’s not a democracy.

For once, I begrudgingly agree with this asshole. Albeit perhaps for different reasons than what he originally meant, tho.

Used to be State Legislators chose the Senators. However that idea wasn't the best because of corruption. It was changed to Direct Voting. . .and well. . .yeah. . .

yes but, the OP meme image and quote are related to Senator Warnock's support of the HR1 bill, which gives the federal government control of State elections and secures a 1-party system, legalizes all of the potential methods of voter fraud and forbids anyone from suing election boards and no recounts ever

The shame isn't that the right has lied to you. The shame is that you believed it. Again.

A Republic is a democracy.
And HR1 is just common sense and there's nothing enabling fraud or allowing a one party state in it. It secures the right to vote.

Please read HR1, it will change your mind. A "republic" means you have a representative. It does not necessary mean a "democracy" where the citizens vote. In our case, the U.S. Constitution forms a democratic republic, where citizens elect their representatives, who in turn do the actual voting on laws, policies, etc. So the U.S. is a Republic, which is why the Constitution consistently refers to the U.S. as a Republic. There are subtle differences but people often mix the two.
Specifically with HR1, if our past election was fair and free from fraud, then why is there a need to change the election process to "secure the right to vote". Since only citizens have the right to vote and they can all vote, there's nothing that needs to be "secure". If you read HR1, you will find that it allows for online registration, which is extremely unsecure.

Aka you're a democracy.

*Democratic Republic.

Which is literally a democracy.

It is not just a democracy and Australia can blow me!

Sounds good (online registration).

No it doesn’t

Yes it does. We have it here in Australia

The bill sets in stone the temporary 2020 changes, making it easier to register and vote, but without compromising that vote.
Automatic registration.
15 days early voting.
No excuse mail in voting.
What could you have against these proposals?

The primary unconstitutionality of this HR1 bill is that the Constitution clearly gives exclusive power to the States to conduct their elections. HR1 bill allows the federal government to conduct, oversee, etc. States' elections. Also, all of the problems of this past election would become law and HR1 automatically gives tax money to only the Dem and Republican party 5x the amount given to 3rd party, like Green, Libertarian, etc. All of the HR1 items that you support should be legalized at the State level, which many states did do this past year.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to regulate election laws.

There's a difference between 'regulate' and 'create'. All of this stuff never existed before Covid and the Lockdown. What the dems are doing is creating law, not regulating it.

And you're splitting hairs with no legal or constitutional base or case.
Voting should be as easy as possible, and high voter turnout should be encouraged.
These are not partisan or controversial positions.

I have. Like the majority of Americans of all political persuasions, I agree it's needed.

Based Warnock

Raphael Warnock on the front page — and he’s not being attacked??

That’s worthy of a socially-distanced elbow bump 👍

I kinda called him an asshole while agreeing with him, does that count?

Isn't this the guy who had some serious sexual assault/abuse accusations against him? Also a pastor along the lines of Al Sharpton. . .

Predicting Warnock will win in a landslide. WTF are Trump and the GOP thinking, supporting an idiot like Herschel Walker?

Very true.

Well he got heard enough to be put into a meme.

We all have freedom of speech but no one, regardless of race, has the right to be heard.

You cannot force someone to listen to you.

How's that? I chose not to read what you wrote. My freedom of choice ignoring you.

Good for you. That is your right.

That would be more inspirational if Warnock actually meant it, BUT...
Warnock is an avowed Marxist and a very vocal racist.
In short, he is pure scum.

One scum knows another scum on site.

Get a dictionary.

ErrantBelle didn't write anything that can't be proved by Warnock statements.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You literally don't have a single Marxist politician in the entire country.
