i feel sorry for alot of well meaning democrats, the party they think they belong to, is like a young loyal helpful wife, who over the years committed adultery with mao brings home a fatal case of syphilis.

That party ceased to exist in real life , was murdered by psychophants that wear their victims skins for camouflage and manipulation and to keep the blinded blind.

Democracy is the right to choose between A Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich.

Imagine CNN “talent”, having majored in journalism and like marshmallow majors, giving us lectures on democracy.

Imagine Kamala Harris lecturing on quantum physics. Actually, imagine that ignorant s**t giving lectures on anything except for yellow busses.

Same thing.

The Weather Underground took over the Democratic Party, and they got their Trojan Horse, Obama, into the White House.

Poor gals getting ambushed by this ass.

Nope. Because they are smarter than him, they know they are right & he is wrong. Thus, his ambush can be exposed as the fool that he is.

Whether America is supposed to be a democracy or not regardless of what CNN thinks, given the low IQs I see in public on a daily basis? Yeah, I’m ok with it not being a democracy.

Then the wolves vote, and decree that sheep will always be their dinner.

Even if the sheep populate and outnumber the wolves.

Yup

The angry mob which will burn witches at the stake, and the greedy politician who will violate people’s rights are just as real today as they were in the day of Salem.

The human is a nasty beast, willing to do bad things to others. Those rules and procedures slow things down, force people to think, apply certain tests that attempt to achieve consistency and an outcome congruent with basic values we have codified.

Even just Covid recently. Look at what some of these politicians and folks were advocating?!?!? Are things really so different today? People become savage when fear and group social -dynamics take over.

Democracy = mob rule. The majority dictating rights to the minority.
Constitutional Republic = The rights of the individual to elect a representative.

Just think of all the mis-information we got 50 or 60 years ago as children. Stupid things. Such as: ONLY citizens have the right to vote. ONLY citizens have legal rights under the Constitution. Illegals are ALIENS and ILLEGAL. You have to be native born to become president. Stupid things like that. Puts Simon and Garfunkel and all the crap we learned in high school in a different light.

Such confusion about something so fundamental as our form of government can only be intentional.

I thought we were or are a Republic at heart. Certainly not a democracy. Going further, a Constitutional Republic and going further, add federalism. We elect representatives and we have an elected president and not a monarch or prime minister and so we are a republic. I'm not so sure about not having a monarch these days though. If we are a democracy why in hell's name are we led around by the nose by a bunch of elected representatives who now answer to nobody? They only play like it when it is time for election. If this is a democracy it is being done all wrong. It has been so morphed, confused, falsified and further mischaracterized I don't know what the hell we have become other than a failure.

It should also have consequences other than being painful. Very painful and very dire consequences. I think we are reaping those consequences now. We have lost the program.

They would not believe us. It is too complicated for them to understand. A Republic, a representative republic, is only for thinking people. Management and accountability of elected representatives requires thought and effort. We have little or none of either present in a lot of the population. We have also lost the premise of control, management and accountability. Why else would so many candidates be unopposed?
