Nah, they're just trolling you.
But you know better than to expect from them moral or intellectual consistency.
Proves they do not care about much other than power.
No different from you. Every day you provoke the right wingers then wonder why they don't respond rationally.

America isnt a democracy and the Democrat party, the self proclaimed defenders of democracy, CLEARLY has no problem shitting all over democracy.
When the other side is pointing out your hypocrisy when you call yourself "Democratic" it is not something you should want to focus on.
Pointing out that we are a Constitutional Republic (which is a form of democratic government but not a simple Democracy, which is a different form of democratic government where there are no representatives, you have to vote on everything in a simple Democracy nobody wants to be that it would be annoying) and not a simple Democracy is something that Constitutional Conservatives will do... They likely will also continue to point out the hypocrisy of a group of people who use non-democratic means to "bless" their leaders, they will also likely point and laugh while they do it.

Fixed it for you. It's even better now
Are you suggesting the delegates did not have a choice who to vote for?
Hard to explain it to you because you don't know the meaning of the word, "force."

That's not what Republicans have been saying though. They have been saying we are NOT a democracy - as in any form of democracy.
It's been stunning to hear since 2020, even from mainstream politicians - but it's reality now.
I am suggesting that not one of the folks voting in the primary voted for the person that was "blessed" by the party leadership in the end and that is decidedly undemocratic (it is in fact far more republican in means).

And, btw - we are a representative democracy.
Nah, you attempt to simplify what they say, to bumper sticker it. When they say we live in a republic they assume (wrongly apparently) that folks are knowledgeable enough to understand that it is democratic (adjective) but not a Democracy (Noun). They believe that words mean things and that there is an important distinction between the two things.
True, but it was, I assume you agree, an unusual situation, and the delegates were chosen by vote? The delegates had a choice, it was, considering the situation about as Democratic as it could be.
She seems very popular.
The intent of the talking point was not the detailed reasoning, that was the retort.
They want their yokles to be more supportive a non-democratic republic.

Not at all. I have had many of these discussions on this board and elsewhere.
I'm not simplifying anything. You're attempting to cover for a large part of your party, which no longer believes in democracy or elections, and are quickly starting to favor an autocratic form of government.
talk about a gas lighting twilight zone response.
Harris is extremely unlikeable. she was clearly the aristocratic choice here.
