No, you don't know what a republic is. Germany is a republic, and they are also democratic.

DemocraTIC, not a democraCY.

What the hell is a difference?

Maybe you should ask for clarification before you rip on someone. It helps.

But I will do my best to explain it to you. A democraTIC government encompasses any government in which people legitimately choose who governs them, and includes Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchies (such as the UK), Republics (such as the US, germany and Brazil) and direct democracies, like the Swiss cantons of of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Glarus. That last example is democraCY, wherein all eligible citizens directly vote each time a new law is proposed. The majority wins. This is often called "tyranny of the majority" and is nearly as bad (if not worse) as dictatorship.

The United States, while it is a democraTIC country, is not a democraCY.

It's subtle, but there's a difference.

How is it bad? You can't just put forward new laws and not have people agree on them. Having the majority win a vote is democracy; a good thing. No voting, or elections, is called totalitarianism, or fascism, or a dictatorship.

How is what bad? Democracy?

Because the majority can easily take away the rights of the minority. Democracy has also often been described as "two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner."

I never said "no voting, or elections" We have elections. Our system, however, is not to vote directly on each new law that is proposed (with the exception of some state level ballot measures). That's a democraCY. We elect REPRESENTATIVES to vote on those laws for us. That's a republic. Again, there's a difference.

If you think the majority winning against the minority is bad, then go live in an anarchy. There's no place for you in democratic countries.

The principle of a true democracy is "Majority rule." The republican and federalist principle is "Majority rule, minority rights." Does that clear it up?
3 ups, 1y
Are you telling me that in democracies minorities are ignored, and without rights? Wha-what?

What he means is that America is a republic with democratic ways laws and views not only that but everybody is giving the right to their own political party
1 up, 1y
A Republic means we have elected official representatives who vote on our behalf (in theory at least).

This is not just a quibble over terms. It is a fundamental battle over what American government aspires to be. Are we a democracy where the voice of the people is, like it says in Latin on some of our official buildings (Vox Populi, Vox Dei), the voice of God?

yes, the Progressive movement, along with the media and big tech are pushing for an oligarchy and not a democratic republic. The Democrat party has tried several times and was extremely close to passing a bill (HR-1) in 2019, 2020 and 2021 to takeover the election process and codifying an oligarchy rather than a republic.

I see you Reppies criticising Joe Biden, joking about the death of his children, and his 'cognitive decline'.
1 up, 1y,

Criticizing someone is not an ad hominem attack. I am unaware of anyone mocking the death of his children (though I would say it is shameful if it does occur). pointing out that he is in a cognitive decline is also not an ad hominem attack. Reagan began to decline later on, too.

Baselessly calling someone a National Socialist, however, is definitely an ad hominem attack.

Oh, sorry. You must have been out of town when Democrats were called 'Nazis', 'p*dophiles', and 'Marxists'.

Those are, for the most part, ad hominem attacks!

Good job!

Bro trump rallys actually cannot be Nazi because 0.5% of the crowd there is black... and they were paid quite well to be there. ;P

naw but it does seem interesting the handful of black people who attend, always do seem to manage to get seating right behind trump....directly visible to any cameras who might record him speaking.

Anywho.. eh.. maybe. Idk. I try not to personally bash people here.... It's a struggle. Maybe Patriot's just busy making memes.

Somewhat better but idk.
I guess to be fair it is hard to find pictures of Biden not looking dorky. I could probably make better memes myself if I still had my PC set up to do it.
