Nebraskans are Cowards

Cruz would have won Nebraska if he would have stayed in but I think the loss is mainly just people feeling like it would have been a lost cause to go vote last night since he dropped out. Trump won 60% but there weren't that many votes cast and you think he would have won by more considering he's the only candidate left. I agree though that I wish people would have still gone out and voted out of principle for Cruz and not stay home or support Trump out of pressure. Nothing we can do now.

we are a constitutional republic with elected representatives but thats for another day. Trump and Clinton have the highest unfavorable ratings of all candidates including Cruz.

I have a mail-in ballot checked for Cruz, waiting to be delivered. I'm not really sure how difficult it is for people. Do they think the primary can't get closure if they vote for a different candidate?

If you are going to accuse me of lying for no reason at all then the conversation will unfortunately end. If you truly are sincere regarding the values of a democracy then you'd respect opposing points of view. The founding fathers made the arguments about our republic and what it stands for in documents that we can all still read today.

We are a constitutional republic with aspects of democracy. There are different types of democracies but the type you seem to want or think we are is a direct democracy based on what I've read of yours which we certainly are not. We do not decide policy or law, we elect representatives to do that which makes us a republic and not a real democracy, among other reasons. That's not a lie and it's not some sort of vindictive threat to our nation. Our own founders called us a republic for example. If you're using the broad term of democracy to describe the country then that's fine but the way our country functions is the a republican style (not the party) of government. The debate is pretty meaningless though in my opinion unless you are wanting to change the way our systems works to make it into something like a direct democracy. Is that what you want?
 
you are not the authority on that huh


what ever you say about us the FACT remains that we are a democracy according to the meaning of the terms


tell me why the right wants you to hate the word democracy so much they told you lies
