The founders said we are a democracy

sometimes you only seem to be spreading hopelessness.

If you need a cheerleader then find a cheerleader....I am a truth teller.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

The United States is not and never was a democracy.

What Is, Is Best Fallacy

Does that mean we have to accept this tyranny?

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

No such thing. Paradox.

Kill It Before the Illiterate Liberal Language Lords Mandate Your #StupidSpeak Definition

That's not what "paradox" means. It is an unexpected conclusion that is true on a more advanced level of logic, such as (if true) lowering tax rates will increase tax revenue.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

There is no democracy in America. The United States was never a democracy.
Democracy IS mob rule. It is why a democracy is an unstable for of government. It usually dissolves into an oligarchy or dictatorship before long.

All Republics Go Bananas

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Yes. I hate democracy. It is an unstable form of government. I do not support mob rule.

"My Masters Told Me So" Fallacy

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

You are describing Democrats and other leftists again. Inversion fallacy.

It also worked for them with that Commie Goon MLK's mob non-violence.

Believe it or not, a Representative Democracy is actually a form of democracy.

Who knew.

Representation Is a Re-Presentation of All Preceding Tyrannies

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

it's amazing how modernists spend so much time arguing about the power of words......are we a Democracy......are we a Republic......everyone knows how our government works, regardless of what you want to name it........if you don't like the way it works you can always change it.....at least if enough of you want to....

"Our Way or the Highway" Means That Their Way Is the Low Way

Changing it through the ruling class's intentionally obstructive means is a non-starter.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I think you are confusing free speech with free press about something being published.

None of the Bill of Rights applies to private entities. It originally only applied to the federal government but has since been expanded so that most, but not all, of the rights also restrict states.

The Pushy Ones Turn a Sidewalk Into a Sideshow

Freedom of screech takes away the public's right to be left alone. A public demonstration is an invasion of privacy. Let them assemble in a hall and, at most, politiely and silently invite people to attend.

The Warren SCROTUS decreed that the young elitists' right to harass people overrode the rights of us, the people (@StupidSpeak: "of we, the people")

Perfectionism Fallacy

The ruling class's Constitution forces us into a mindset of agreeing with all of one party's or the other's agenda. It knows perfectly well that perfectionism leads to paralysis.

 

[Into the Night]

That's actually incorrect. There are several different forms of democracy.

And America is a democracy. Indisputably.

Redefinition fallacy (democracy<->republic). Repetition fallacy (chanting).

 

[Into the Night]

Nah, Into The Night usually just takes one phrase out of a post and claims that thing doesn't exist. I've seen him deny basic science right and left. He probably doesn't understand anything so he does this with everything.

You are describing yourself again. Inversion fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

oh god, waste of time with you

So you give up. You lose.

We are a democracy except for one notable exception, the electoral college. If you run for dog catcher in Walla Walla, the one with the most votes wins. If you run for class president, it is the count that matters. The President of a union is the one with the most votes.
Yes, ITN sock, we are a Democracy and that is good. The majority rules. To say that is wrong says minority rule is better.

 

[Into the Night]

Not insane. Just lame. A dude who fancies himself a whole lot smarter than he actually is. Probably was that guy in all the classes who THOUGHT he knew more than all the faculty. You know the type...they usually can't complete a degree because, well, they aren't that sharp.

But they talk so loud and so proud.

He's pretty "basic".

You are describing yourself again. Inversion fallacy.

United States
Edit
Main articles: History of direct democracy in the United States and Initiatives and referendums in the United States
In the New England region of the United States, towns in states such as Vermont decide local affairs through the direct democratic process of the town meeting.[35] This is the oldest form of direct democracy in the United States, and predates the founding of the country by at least a century.

Direct democracy was not what the framers of the United States Constitution envisioned for the nation. They saw a danger in tyranny of the majority. As a result, they advocated a representative democracy in the form of a constitutional republic over a direct democracy. For example, James Madison, in Federalist No. 10, advocates a constitutional republic over direct democracy precisely to protect the individual from the will of the majority. He says,

There is no such thing as a 'representative democracy'. Democracies have no representatives. There is no such thing as a 'direct democracy'. There is only a democracy, which is government by popular vote.
A republic is not a democracy. The phrase 'constitutional republic' is redundant.

 

[Into the Night]

The republicans USE the fact that the word democracy had a more limited definition at that moment to further the Lie that America is not a Democracy


That is why the refuse to say Democratic Party


They say Democrat party

So it sounds less like democracy


They don’t even have the honesty to use the CORRECT NAME

They hate democracy and are trying to demean and kill it here

You are hallucinating. No one is refusing to say 'Democrat party'. There is no democracy.
