Dictionaries are lying about the definition of words?



Do you understand how fucking stupid that proves you to be?



Dictionaries record and present the mutually accepted definitions of words


You don’t just to call those mutually agreed definitions FALSE because you want to lie about the meaning of words




Do you now understand you stated you want all the world to use your MADE UP definition instead of the real one?




You might have well just said you were insane and king of the world
 
No one would have believed this 20 years ago. Republicans arguing that we are "not a democracy."

Crazy how it's changed.

And it's really because the IDEA of representative democracy doesn't work for them anymore. The demographic changes are not in their favor. That's why they keep trying to restrict voting to certain groups, and argue that we're "not a democracy."

This will continue. They want to change this government.

I get that you majority rules idiots WANT us to be a democracy, with the belief that you can brainwash the stupid masses of 18 to 25 year olds and you'll have permanent power, but up until the 17th Amendment, we only voted for one real office, that of your US representative.

we are still a REPUBLIC, with limited democratic principles.

Alexander Hamilton said we are a representative democracy.

III. Democracy in my sense, where the whole power of the government in the people
I. Whether exercised by themselves, or
2. By their representatives chosen by them either mediately or immediately and legally accountable to them.
IV. Aristocracy where whole sovereignty is permanently in the hands of a few for life or hereditary
V. Monarchy where the whole sovereignty is in the hands of one man for life or hereditary.
VI. Mixed government when these three principles unite.
B.
I. Consequence, the proposed government a representative democracy.


...

This representative democracy as far as is consistent with its genius has all the features of good government.
