I've heard the point that if we have *actual* democracy, we wouldn't be in this situation today

2019-01-25 00:19:57 UTC  

nice song

2019-01-25 00:20:00 UTC  

The thing is, try talking to the average person about politics. Would you really want this person making decisions?

2019-01-25 00:20:07 UTC  

^^

2019-01-25 00:20:11 UTC  

Exactly

2019-01-25 00:20:15 UTC  

But democracy doesn't have to necessarily mean direct referendums on things.

2019-01-25 00:20:20 UTC  

Actual Democracy got us here. The voter roles get larger and larger and accept everybody. We're being voted out of existence

2019-01-25 00:20:31 UTC  

Whenever I hear a leftist talk about "muh democracy" I just chuckle at this point

2019-01-25 00:20:40 UTC  

Representative democracy is what I usually said

2019-01-25 00:20:50 UTC  

Lol people cant even define democracy.

2019-01-25 00:20:55 UTC  

I didn't see a difference between that and "constitutional republic"

2019-01-25 00:20:56 UTC  

The problem here is more with universal franchise I think

2019-01-25 00:21:02 UTC  

In a big way, it had to get bigger @Ian . The average voter gets a small say, but the upper classes have the means and the ability to have a larger say.

2019-01-25 00:21:10 UTC  

Always found it semantic

2019-01-25 00:21:34 UTC  

Yes but it got too big. people who own nothing will vote for anything

2019-01-25 00:21:37 UTC  

Is a democracy anything that's democratic?

2019-01-25 00:21:43 UTC  

If the average person didn't have a say at all, most governments would collapse from revolutions.

2019-01-25 00:21:49 UTC  

And I'm no elitist. I come from poverty.

2019-01-25 00:21:53 UTC  

I have transcended being triggered and have reached peak zen when it comes to leftists haha

2019-01-25 00:22:44 UTC  

The founding fathers knew this would happen. they wrote about it

2019-01-25 00:22:57 UTC  

I just see this big, valuable word that should be ours to shape the definition of.

2019-01-25 00:23:14 UTC  

One that is thoroughly rooted in the American psyche.

2019-01-25 00:23:19 UTC  

@Danimal876 On that I can agree 100%

2019-01-25 00:23:22 UTC  

I'll just posit into this discussion that controlling public opinion is far more important than any system of governance nowadays.

2019-01-25 00:23:47 UTC  

Rather it's a system of governance on its own

2019-01-25 00:24:48 UTC  

It's always been that way. If you want to keep your head at least.

2019-01-25 00:26:01 UTC  

I cant wait for the National Conference 😃

2019-01-25 00:26:16 UTC  

That's a hard call, @TIDE , though you might be right

2019-01-25 00:27:06 UTC  

Although the controllers are having to run at full steam right now to try and stop people like us, and it seems like we keep breaking through because the truth is on our side

2019-01-25 00:30:33 UTC  

Oh brother.

Lol California is a meme state.

2019-01-25 00:34:06 UTC  
2019-01-25 00:34:21 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH No kidding. It's legal to knowingly infect somebody with HIV but illegal to serve plastic straws. Homeless have overrun LA in all areas except where the ultra-rich live.

2019-01-25 00:34:57 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH It's against California law (per the AG) to report illegal workers to ICE.

2019-01-25 00:35:26 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH And I don't get minority benefits for being white despite being a minority.

2019-01-25 00:35:42 UTC  

If balkinization ever happens it'll start with California. They're so far out there.

2019-01-25 00:36:04 UTC  

Completely detached from reality and the rest of the country.

2019-01-25 00:36:11 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH There are more Republicans numerically in CA than any other state.

2019-01-25 00:36:21 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH We've been verrun.

2019-01-25 00:36:28 UTC  

*overrun
