I see that isn’t yours
That's sorta how that shit becomes tyrannical
Example
America isn't meant to be a DEMOCRACY for starters
What do you suggest
America is a republic
We're a republic that got lost along the way
Your right is that what you prefer is a republic
(I'm sorry if it seems like I'm always shitting on you bud, it isn't my intention)
No I didn’t take it that way
Good
I was genuinely curious too
And yes
I would prefer to go back to an actual republic
Can you remind me how that works again
Jeffersonian republicanism
That would be nice
Democratic republicans?
@thedarkness05 take over bud
My brain's fried atm
I can look it up
I don’t wanna make y’all work harder if u don’t want
Normally I'd be down, but right now I'm physically and mentally exhausted lol
I just wanted a quick answer
I getcha
So in a democracy its a straight vote, one per person on a subject, majority gets it passed
Yea when I said democracy that’s what I guess I meant was a republic how it was designed to work
@One Shot Paddy yep
Aka jeffersonian democracy
Gotcha
(Side note, republicanism was looked how we view communism when it first popped up)
Welp in other news I can start working on my ar again
I’m reffing basketball on the side and earning some extra cash
In a Republic representatives are elected that represent a certian people or interest, usually along geographic and political lines (which almost tend to follow a pattern but that bit is for another time). Wherein the representatives work for their constituents and come to a compromise or agreement. Basically so every side is heard and no one has ultimate power either in a majority or minority position
Christmas is rolling around and I asked for money ar mags and 223
@Hellhound6 yeah
Yea that’s the way it’s meant to be
Then there's federalism, and a bunch of other stuff. But you really should look into post Revolutionary war to see how the Founders did things. They failed too, as seen in the articles of confederation
