>>540466454Unironically, a great line. Democracy must never triumph over individual rights and dignity
Axis of evil>USA>Israel>IndiaNuke them all and 3/4 of world's problems are solved.
A republic is just a country that is not a monarchy or theocracy, that's original line. The USA could become a communist state and it would still be a republic

It WAS a democratic republic. Now it's a kleptocratic imperial oligarchy but with an even dumber cult of personality. MAGA murdered the republic.

>>540468200Blaming Trump for everything loses you credibility, if America is an oligarchy it didn't happen in six years. Decades of government private partnership did. A central federal state that out spends what it makes by trillions of dollars and antitrust laws means were aren't even really capitalist anymore.
>>540466454Correct. It is a representative democracy.A republic.Or used to be anyways. Not that an irrelevant continent would know
>>540466513That is how most educated people define a Democracy. A Democracy isn't a place where 50.1% get to do whatever they want to the 49.9% forever, there are fundamental rights baked in which require a much greater margin to overturn. Democracy is a whole system and the voting is just part of it, the other parts include (among other things) a free press, trusted institutions and a culture where both sides are willing to accept when they lose. I don't doubt that Vladimir Putin won the most votes in the most recent Russian election but that doesn't make Russia a Democracy.
>>540466454It's just a wordplay workaround they use when they encounter similarly pedantic nonsense.Democracy takes mamy forms for many reasons, a union of states is simply not a singular country after all so it makes sense to keep the direct democracy local while ensuring the individual states are not eclipsed too badly.
>>540468200It remains odd that democrats would accuse their enemies of being in a cult of personality when only they themselves care so much about Trump.All because they sre unwilling to face that he delivers the actual will of the people in many respects.
