Yeah I already lost interest in this

This is pointless

because you know youre being dumb

Read how they actually conducted their votes- not everyone got a say

and you want to leave while the getting is good

The US is a Democratic Republic

@Storin well i mean only the upper crust of athenian society could vote anyway\

If you gonna come in here and quote Greek "democracy" you better be educated on it kizza <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>

@Storin Again fake democracy.

Well yes actually, I don't want to ruin my precious record of 0 internet arguments lost

and they still had leaders

and orators

Or aistrocrat/autocracy voting.

Lmao are you actually being serious?

Luci has pretty much already said what I was gonna say to show you are wrong

Example:
A nation consists of two areas.
There are 100 people in area A.
There are 1000 people in area B.
There is an election coming up.

An area A man wants to lead the country to develop a space program, for the glory of the nation.

An area B man wants to... exterminate all the area A men and subjugate their women... for the... glory of the nation.

This is an absurd, hyperbolic example of why the electoral college exists.

@Storin Remind us again where the word comes from again??

we most revolt against the subscribers!

that's stupid

revolt against people that like sargoy

The word 'democracy' has its origins in the Greek language. It combines two shorter words: 'demos' meaning whole citizen living within a particular city-state and 'kratos' meaning power or rule. Care to explain this @Storin

Very nice

<:xethno:522941537647329280>

You literally don't know anything dude, don't talk about democracy until you have read about its implementation across the millenia <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>

Because the one you are asking for is not physically possible day to day

honestly America needs a president like Sulla

A democracy = people vote directly, while a republic = officials chosen by the people vote, correct?

I just gave you the actual definition boy. Don't get salty being proved wrong.

@KizzaGT "citizenship" in the ancient world was highly selective

Kinda tubby

you think everyone was a citizen?

women werent

slaves werent

and all the ancient economies were slave driven

@Lucienne d'Anwyl good ol' days

poorer men werent

Again it was the "aristocrats" back then.

had to own some land or serve in the military

Gotchu now jew

and peasants living outside the citiy but within the lands governed by the city werent either

Some democracy. That closer to a communist government.
