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.”

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

2017-11-07 22:58:44 UTC  

#NeverForgetTheGulags

2017-11-07 22:58:57 UTC  

You’d think 👌 is the only emoji on this server with how often it’s used

2017-11-07 22:59:18 UTC  

“But the US prison system is worse than gulags it has more people!”

2017-11-07 23:05:34 UTC

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.
