the intent of liberals

[Into the Night]

You’re an originalist and you support filibusters? Hmmmmm, interesting.

Why? Filibusters have been around as long as there has been republics.

Too late. You've already shown it!

 

[Into the Night]

you're free to delude yourself with this fantasy all you need to. I'm not the one wanting to use the government as their political weapon like you are.


you love this fantasy shit you got going, don't you? does it make you feel safe?


what your ignorant ass doesn't get, because you're too much of a coward, is that by the time it comes down to Americans dying by each others hands, there won't be anyone left to help you but yourself. By then, it will be too late and, again, I hope it's me that gets to say 'I told you so' before you die.

Dutch, of course, is completely clueless about this.

we are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. I know you want us to be a Democratic Republic like North Korea, where you get to sick the military on those who dissent from your beliefs, but it's not happening.

North Korea is currently a dictatorship. There is no such thing as a ' democratic republic'. A republic is government by law (a constitution). To say 'constitutional republic' is redundant.

 

[Into the Night]

yes I support filibusters. Gridlock is the absolute best thing to ensure that government doesn't get to take away more of our freedoms. why can't you understand that?

It's a pretty effective tool!

 

[Into the Night]

I don’t hate our country the way you do. I realize government is necessary for a civilized, industrial, society as large as ours.

But you deny and discard the Constitution of the United States. You support The Oligarchy. No thanks.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

want to? no. but i'd certainly be happy to if necessary. you're an enemy of the Constitution, this nation, and freedom in general.

Weaselling away again, SSGT Doolittle? Of course you'd be happy. You hate me because I disagree with you about protecting our country.
You'd rather burn it to the ground, like your marriage IMO, than admit you are wrong. You want to overthrow the nation and impose Earl Turner's version of an ideal White Nation. You know, like with the Cleavers. A fantasy in which you will murder to make happen.

The fact you don't understand why that is nuts is why you are a danger to all of those around you...and why the judges ruled against you.

You're a victim and you want revenge against the United States government and any Americans who get in your way.

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

Congress voted in that rule.

So?

So?

There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'.

There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'. The United States was organized as a federated republic. A democracy is not a republic.

Let's not play semantics! OK?

The United States government is a complex entity known as a democratic republic. This essentially means that the government operates on the principles of both a republic and a democracy. In other words, the nation functions upon principles that are common in both republics and democracies. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a republic as “a political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.” The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines democracy as “a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.” In other words, in a republic there are a group of citizens elected or appointed to represent the people, but with a democracy the power is theoretically in the hands of usually all voting citizens. A democratic republic is a mixture of the two.

Direct Democracy Versus a Representative Democracy
Although we hear often that the US is a democracy, it is not fully a direct democracy in the purest sense. Presidential elections are not decided by a direct democracy, but by the electoral college (Electors are officials appointed by each state). A 2016 article in the Huffington Post outlines the process very clearly. The article states that when voters go to the polls they choose “which candidate receives their state’s electors. The candidate who receives a majority of electoral votes (270) wins the Presidency. The number 538 is the sum of the nation’s 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, and 3 electors given to the District of Columbia.” Thus at the federal level, the US is a representative democracy. Many aspects of the United States function as a direct democracy such as local elections for mayor, city council and school board members. State governors are another well known example; in each of the fifty states the governor is elected by popular vote.

Constitutional Democracy
Having said that, like many large entities, it is difficult to find one term to define the US political system. For instance, in many cases the government is described as a constitutional democracy because governmental power is defined, limited, and regulated by a constitution and the electorate (General voting populace). The court system is involved with matters of interpreting the constitution. To make matters even more complex, Native American tribes within the United States are sovereign nations within US borders that are governed by their own separate constitutions. But that is another article for another time.

The fact is it is the Republicans, who work for the super-wealthy

I guess you have no clue how wealthy Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden are, or Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg, or many other Democrats I can name.

As far as creating and running successful companies and corporations, all while producing products and services that people want, what's wrong with that?

and corporations,

What's wrong with corporations?

who vote for making themselves richer.

They don't need to. They make themselves richer by providing products and services that people want.

We have a worse wealth gap

There is no such thing as a 'wealth gap'. Buzzword fallacy.

The Repubs vote for tax breaks

Good.

and ending regulations

Good.

so the rich get richer.

Good.

We have had a trickle-up economic system under the Repub's control.

Buzzword fallacy. Capitalism is open to anyone. Anyone can play. Go out and make yourself worth something to somebody. They will pay you for it! Instead, you would rather whine about how poor you are!

Check this on what the wealth gap was. It has gotten worse.

There is no such thing as a 'wealth gap'. Buzzword fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

which is why we are not a democratic republic, yet......not that you statists aren't trying

There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'. What these statists want is an oligarchy.

 

[Into the Night]

What freedoms are you speaking of, Dumber?

Do you mean the freedom of women to have control of their own bodies?

They already do. Murder, however is illegal. No women or man has the right to kill their own offspring for the sake of convenience.

Do you mean the freedom of people to demand that the government help those who need help in a meaningful way?

Socialism is theft.

What freedom(s) are you talking about?

Redefinition fallacy (tyranny<->freedom).

 

[Into the Night]

"Warfare"? Why are you supporting warfare against the American people?

Clearly, these terrorists are not following the rules of war, but even if they were, it would be war against the United States, and its people. Why on earth would you want to support that?

He isn't.

 

[Into the Night]

Obviously YOU don't, because no Libertarian would support abortion restrictions. None. You are a fraud. Not surprised at all.

Redefinition fallacy (libertarian<->anarchist). Libertarians do NOT support murder for convenience.

 

[Into the Night]

This is a fantasy?:
One death threat could be just a bad day, Doolittle. Multiple ones across the years indicates you are a violent nutjob.

The only person responsible for you losing your family is you, dumbass.

Inversion fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Quite the opposite. I see no point to war in the USA. We need to de-escalate the violence.

Lie. You have already called for civil war several times.

But we also need to arrest the terrorists who are attacking the USA.

So which Democrats are you going to arrest?

There are ways to arrest people that minimize the violence. But we cannot just allow them to walk free. That is not an option.

So which Democrats are you going to arrest?

 

[Into the Night]

So not only do you claim you know more about women's healthcare, you know how America should be run.

So, we should just turn it over to a cruel Nazi like you?

Yeah, I don't think so, twumptard.

Murder is not healthcare. Redefinition fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

He's posted dozens of times about violently overthrowing the US and state governments and killing anyone who got in the way as "collateral damage".

You are describing yourself again. Inversion fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

I still remember when supporting the violent overthrow of the US would get you thrown out of politics, but now it is nearly required for Republicans.

The world has gone crazy, or at least a vocal minority of it.

You are describing yourself again. Inversion fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

this is your delusion...you look at a 'hope' and take it as a 'threat'...........it's probably why the FBI laughed their ass off when you send them tips

He's a pretender. He never sent the FBI any tips.

 

[Into the Night]

But you are not doing that. The Democrats, and their base, are doing what they want with absolutely no concern for anyone else..........it's almost like you WANT the other side to get violent so you can sit back in glee at the government crackdown......so, you literally do want war in the US

Bingo.
