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 mean gladly. I'm gettin ready for work tho. But yeah, politics is my forte
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 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

Thanks bubba
No problem homie, gotta use my degree for something
Yea I’m familiar with the era of good feeling and federalist
Cause that’s what I’m going through in us history 101
Take everything with a grain of salt
