Makes sense that collectivism forms a single body to act on others as a dictator
That is why the founding fathers talked about "the Problem of Democracy"
Democracy is the best system we currenty have
No it’s gay
It has flaws just like capitalism
im just explaining why Constituitonal Representative Republic is the correct term
Or indirect democracy
We vote for people to vote not we vote
I dont know how dirrect democracy could work in the US
They have ballout initiatives and they get low turnout

You’d think 👌 is the only emoji on this server with how often it’s used
“But the US prison system is worse than gulags it has more people!”
Very similar to US mili kills more than terrorism
A republic has to be democratic.
But not democratic for the people.
It could just as easily be democratic for the elite, I.e nobility, the rich, other politicians etc. These are not new concepts.
Venice was a republic for example.
Democracy is a spectrum
I have more options than John or Joyce?
Spectrums are a thing bro
Collapsing issues into binaries is just as retarded as forcing binaries into spectrums
'cause my vote junk
it goes oh oh oh
That's exactly the right message
doesn't have to be either/or or or
*mumbles something about voting Constitution Party*
Muh third party
Muh muh
I actually do kind of want a third party now
Because I no longer give a fuck about hurting the Democrats
I think the last viable third party... was the prohibition party
as far as a third party actually getting any serious political clout, at least
most other smaller parties, as soon as they actually start to get traction, seem to wind up fracturing themselves with people getting waaaaaaay ahead of themselves int he powergrab sweepstakes
dude @ 1:30 appears to be... "involuntarily transitioning"..
Part of the problem there could be that third parties arise from the fringe of one end of the spectrum
I would want some kind of more centrist party
Gain bipartisan support as opposed to just fracturing one of the wings
