Shame on me

2019-09-06 01:24:42 UTC  

The redpilling got too wild even for me

2019-09-06 01:24:45 UTC  

America is a Republic for fucks sake.

I hate Democracy, Democracy is the tyranny of the majority.

Republic is the rule of law, you have a democratic vote but it then has to be taken to court and seen by a jury of peers, and the decision has to be unanimous. And they have the Electoral college, 1st and 2nd etc.

2019-09-06 01:24:48 UTC  

But soon, soon I'll be rdy

2019-09-06 01:25:14 UTC  

Normies think "just voting" means you're in a democracy

2019-09-06 01:26:27 UTC  

@josephchansen quite the strawman

2019-09-06 01:26:30 UTC  

shotgun man

2019-09-06 01:26:42 UTC  

U wot

2019-09-06 01:26:43 UTC  

also, democracy is a form of republic

2019-09-06 01:26:49 UTC  

you're a nigga

2019-09-06 01:27:14 UTC  

there's different democracies too

2019-09-06 01:27:17 UTC  

politics is layers

2019-09-06 01:27:21 UTC  

like an onion

2019-09-06 01:27:26 UTC  

nig on that

2019-09-06 01:27:34 UTC  

But Democracy or a Democratic state does not have the Rule of Law.

2019-09-06 01:27:54 UTC  

depends on how you define rule of law

2019-09-06 01:28:09 UTC  

courts?

2019-09-06 01:28:33 UTC  

ok, courts

2019-09-06 01:28:44 UTC  

so, if there's courts, then democracy is limited by it

2019-09-06 01:28:57 UTC  

the example you gave is direct democracy where the majority just over rules everything

2019-09-06 01:29:00 UTC  

that's one kind of democracy

2019-09-06 01:29:17 UTC  

there's different kinds

2019-09-06 01:29:36 UTC  

just like there's different republics - technically, nazi germany was a republic if you define it by how it got its legitimacy

2019-09-06 01:30:01 UTC  

yeah its some weird shit

2019-09-06 01:30:26 UTC  

i know, but it's true - simply saying 'We are a republic' or 'we are democracy' isn't enough

2019-09-06 01:30:38 UTC  

you have to say something like

2019-09-06 01:30:51 UTC  

"our democracy has limitations outlined by law" or whatever

2019-09-06 01:31:05 UTC  

and there's no specific name you can put on it other than maybe US democracy

2019-09-06 01:31:05 UTC  

The rule of law is supreme to all decisions, yes courts but also the legal system and other kinds of checks and balances.

It's should be all about personal liberty and freedom and allowing the people to be together or left alone by each other and/or the government.

2019-09-06 01:31:55 UTC  

ok

2019-09-06 01:31:59 UTC  

i agree

2019-09-06 01:32:34 UTC  

but when you say "US isn't democracy, it's a republic" it kind of gets people confused

2019-09-06 01:32:35 UTC  

You libtards are just disagreeing on what to call it

2019-09-06 01:32:39 UTC  

since it's innaccurate

2019-09-06 01:32:41 UTC  

yeah, we are

2019-09-06 01:32:47 UTC  

but gotta get those definitions just right

2019-09-06 01:32:54 UTC  

because fucking debates are gay like that

2019-09-06 01:32:58 UTC  

what can i say

2019-09-06 01:33:10 UTC  

debating isn't something cool kids do

2019-09-06 01:33:14 UTC  

unless you're in a private school

2019-09-06 01:33:16 UTC  

The good kinda gay
