they believed in freedom, and they allowed people to vote

2018-08-07 16:49:13 UTC  

The founding fathers set America up as a republic not a democracy.

2018-08-07 16:49:23 UTC  

representative democracy

2018-08-07 16:49:26 UTC  

which is even worse

2018-08-07 16:50:00 UTC  

Where would you go to cite where you're getting your information from?

2018-08-07 16:50:04 UTC  

and don't give me that bullshit about "landed white men"
they set about expanding the franchise almost immediately after the establishment of the Freemasonic Republic

2018-08-07 16:50:32 UTC  

Which would you like me to cite? Everything I have said so far has been a basic fact.

2018-08-07 16:50:49 UTC  

Cite these basic facts.

2018-08-07 16:50:56 UTC  

What are your sources for information?

2018-08-07 16:50:57 UTC  

do you need me to write out the definition of "representative democracy" for you?

2018-08-07 16:51:15 UTC  

Where are you getting this from exactly?

2018-08-07 16:51:36 UTC  

Getting what? You need to tell me what you're not understanding.

2018-08-07 16:51:45 UTC  

Do you not think the Founding Fathers believed in democracy?

2018-08-07 16:51:56 UTC  

I do not actually.

2018-08-07 16:51:57 UTC  

That they didn't believe in freedom, "natural rights", and the rest of the Lockean drivel?

2018-08-07 16:52:03 UTC  

America wasn't originally intended to be a democracy.

2018-08-07 16:52:14 UTC  

yeah it was, a representative democracy

2018-08-07 16:52:18 UTC  

which is what most republics are

2018-08-07 16:52:22 UTC  

I think you're getting things confused.

2018-08-07 16:52:29 UTC  

What are your sources for information?

2018-08-07 16:52:30 UTC  

you're trying to split a hair that doesn't actually fucking exist

2018-08-07 16:52:38 UTC  

MY SOURCES FOR GODDAM WHAT

2018-08-07 16:52:44 UTC  

I think you're growing a hair in a place that doesn't exist.

2018-08-07 16:52:52 UTC  

THAT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN WHICH PEOPLE ELECT REPRESENTATIVES IS A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY?

2018-08-07 16:53:03 UTC  

I want to see where you're getting your info from, and why are you getting so mad all of a sudden?

2018-08-07 16:53:05 UTC  

Do you need me to cite THAT for you?

2018-08-07 16:53:26 UTC  

I'm getting my information from a basic goddam knowledge of political terms

2018-08-07 16:53:55 UTC  

According to Socrates a democracy only works in a homogenous society.

2018-08-07 16:54:46 UTC  

Merriam-Webster defines a Republic as "a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law"

2018-08-07 16:54:56 UTC  

*id est*, a representative democracy

2018-08-07 16:55:57 UTC  

So you're saying nobody ever voted in natsoc Germany?

2018-08-07 16:56:37 UTC  

Was not the fuhrer the representative of the people?

2018-08-07 16:56:43 UTC  

yes, but he wasn't elected

2018-08-07 16:57:17 UTC  

Are you certain he wasn't originally elected into power?

2018-08-07 16:57:20 UTC  

positive

2018-08-07 16:57:23 UTC  

he was appointed

2018-08-07 16:57:32 UTC  

he was appointed to the office of the Chancellor, and then exploited loopholes in the constitution to make himself a dictator

2018-08-07 16:57:45 UTC  

after the Reichstag fire

2018-08-07 16:58:16 UTC  

You sure he wasn't elected 6 times?

2018-08-07 16:58:26 UTC  

not to the office of the Chancellor

2018-08-07 16:58:31 UTC  

since that's not an elected position
