Shame on me
The redpilling got too wild even for me
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.
But soon, soon I'll be rdy
Normies think "just voting" means you're in a democracy
@josephchansen quite the strawman
shotgun man
U wot
also, democracy is a form of republic
you're a nigga
there's different democracies too
politics is layers
like an onion
nig on that
But Democracy or a Democratic state does not have the Rule of Law.
depends on how you define rule of law
courts?
ok, courts
so, if there's courts, then democracy is limited by it
the example you gave is direct democracy where the majority just over rules everything
there's different kinds
just like there's different republics - technically, nazi germany was a republic if you define it by how it got its legitimacy
yeah its some weird shit
i know, but it's true - simply saying 'We are a republic' or 'we are democracy' isn't enough
you have to say something like
"our democracy has limitations outlined by law" or whatever
and there's no specific name you can put on it other than maybe US democracy
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.
ok
i agree
but when you say "US isn't democracy, it's a republic" it kind of gets people confused
You libtards are just disagreeing on what to call it
since it's innaccurate
yeah, we are
but gotta get those definitions just right
because fucking debates are gay like that
what can i say
debating isn't something cool kids do
unless you're in a private school
The good kinda gay
