Sounds like democracy to me.
Anon seems to have run off after claiming that America isn't a democracy for the 2946th time and being told why he's wrong by me on this specific point for the 2946th time.
the only say we have in their decisions is getting them elected. we can't guarantee that they'll do what the majority wants
Yes, but that doesn't make it not a democracy. A republic is a democracy.
we have a say in who gets in power, depending on the position, that's about it
it's not rule by the people
Don't want to rely on words too much here but America is legally a representative *democracy.* We call a system of government where people elect representatives a democracy because they vote, thereby influencing the public affairs (res public, public affair).
You're disagreeing with established definitions for God knows why.
But you're plain and simply wrong.
I think democracy is too broad
there's direct and rep, and god knows how many other forms
It's meant to be broad, that's why democracy can be representative or direct. Direct democracy is not the only type of democracy.
why are you so hostile <:HyperLmao:459545665517780993>
I didn't call you stupid, I just explained why you were wrong and then told you you were wrong.
''I didn't call you stupid'' whomst the fuck said you did
You called me hostile. I think I start being hostile when I start insulting you.
But I haven't insulted you.
If you're more sensitive than I am then that's none of my business.
you don't suddenly stop being hostile when the word isn't a simple and direct as you want it to be. Sorry, that's not how language works.
You successfully derailed the conversation. Next time I will avoid pointing out when you're wrong so I don't hurt your feelings.

Seems like you just don't want to be nice and would rather be vindictive and belligerent.
I don't know about you but I'm not in the mood to be a meanie.
oi make a debate about this in <#476576348316368897> kay danke
I wasn't the one being condescending
I was just curious as to why you were being so hostile
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. I will forgive you as Christ would forgive you.
You don't have to be vindictive and rude.
You don't have to be hostile and condescending <:HyperLmao:459545665517780993>
I'm not. But what I have done is given up trying to get you to see why you're being unreasonable and sensitive.
Live through Christ. And no, it isn't condescending to want to live as Christ lived.
I'm not being unreasonable or sensitive
I wasn't offended, I was just wondering why you were being hostile
I apologize if you thought I was being hostile.
I don't know about you but I have more valuable things to do with my time than repeatedly apologize to someone who just wants to be offended.
Adios partner. 🤠
> apologizes for being hostile
> proceeds to be hostile
