constitutional representative republic

2017-11-07 22:41:07 UTC  

You are arguing semantics

2017-11-07 22:41:39 UTC  

ehhhh

2017-11-07 22:41:49 UTC  

it needs to be specific

2017-11-07 22:41:50 UTC  

Republics are inherently democratic

2017-11-07 22:42:19 UTC  

You still have elections

2017-11-07 22:42:39 UTC  

You could argue a noble republic isnt

2017-11-07 22:42:47 UTC  

that is the specific term we use in the US

2017-11-07 22:43:04 UTC  

"representative"

2017-11-07 22:43:10 UTC  

> Democracy

2017-11-07 22:43:12 UTC  

And a lot of tinpot dictatorships like to call themself republics

2017-11-07 22:44:03 UTC  

someday

2017-11-07 22:44:22 UTC  

Ah sedition

2017-11-07 22:44:50 UTC  

they would still be part of the US

2017-11-07 22:44:52 UTC  

They had a chance several decades ago

2017-11-07 22:44:57 UTC  

just breaking up the state

2017-11-07 22:44:59 UTC  

Unfortunately their big rally was December 8th 1941

2017-11-07 22:45:50 UTC  

Too bad they don't have a clause like Texas' constitution

2017-11-07 22:46:04 UTC  

They reserve the right to divide into up to 5 separate states IIRC

2017-11-07 22:49:33 UTC  

“If the right to vote were expanded to seven year olds … its policies would most definitely reflect the ‘legitimate concerns’ of children to have ‘adequate’ and ‘equal’ access to ‘free’ french fries, lemonade and videos.”

2017-11-07 22:50:50 UTC  

What is the point you are trying to make here?

2017-11-07 22:51:50 UTC  

oh it was a response to the quote Kulak refered too

2017-11-07 22:52:00 UTC  

oh OK

2017-11-07 22:52:26 UTC  

Can you give a TLDW?

2017-11-07 22:53:14 UTC  

Democracy needs checks and balances.

2017-11-07 22:53:45 UTC  

Yes otherwise it would be mob rule

2017-11-07 22:53:48 UTC  

The Tyranny of the majority can be just as bad as the Tyranny of a Dictator

2017-11-07 22:54:32 UTC  

Makes sense that collectivism forms a single body to act on others as a dictator

2017-11-07 22:55:22 UTC  

That is why the founding fathers talked about "the Problem of Democracy"

2017-11-07 22:56:14 UTC  

Democracy is the best system we currenty have

2017-11-07 22:56:20 UTC  

No it’s gay

2017-11-07 22:56:29 UTC  

It has flaws just like capitalism

2017-11-07 22:56:46 UTC  

im just explaining why Constituitonal Representative Republic is the correct term

2017-11-07 22:57:08 UTC  

Or indirect democracy

2017-11-07 22:57:17 UTC  

We vote for people to vote not we vote

2017-11-07 22:57:38 UTC  

I dont know how dirrect democracy could work in the US

2017-11-07 22:57:59 UTC  

They have ballout initiatives and they get low turnout
