The US is not a Democracy, it's a Constitutional Republic

I'm not quibbling, I nearly stating the fact that America is a Constitutional Republic. End of story!

Beginning of the story, not the end. The EC was done to accommodate slave states and small ones giving them powers their populations cannot justify. There have been several serious attempts to make the presidential elections popular vote determined.

I cannot believe you just said that.

... because you have no clue what a fact is.

Facts do not require your approval or agreement my idiotic friend.

Ummmmm, actually, facts DO require my approval (BY DEFINITION) or else they are not facts.

EXAMPLE #1: Let's say that you and I are discussing the weight of a gallon of water (at "room temperature"). You say that it weighs 5 pounds. I say that it weighs a bit over 8 pounds. HERE, there is no existence of a fact (since we both disagree about the weight of a gallon of water).

EXAMPLE #2: Let's say that you and I are discussing the weight of a gallon of water (at "room temperature"). You say that it weighs a bit over 8 pounds. I agree with your assertion. HERE, a fact has now been formed (since we both agree about the weight of a gallon of water).

EXAMPLE #3: Let's say that you and I are discussing the weight of a gallon of water (at "room temperature"). You say that it weighs 5 pounds. I agree with your assertion. HERE, a fact has now been formed (since we both agree about the weight of a gallon of water).

In example #1, there is no fact in existence. You are making one claim and I am making an opposing claim. We now need to go through the extended process of forming arguments in order to support our opposing claims.

In example #2, there IS a fact in existence. You made a claim and I agreed with it. There is now no need for us to go through the extended process of forming arguments in order to support the claim being made (since we both agree with it).

In example #3, there IS a fact in existence. You made a claim and I agreed with it. There is now no need for us to go through the extended process of forming arguments in order to support the claim being made (since we both agree with it).

NOTICE: In example #2, the fact that was formed also happened to be true, meanwhile the fact that was formed in example #3 happened to be FALSE. 'Fact' and 'True' are NOT interchangeable terms.

A fact is simply a form of shorthand predicate. Facts are useful for shortening the length of discussions. In and of itself, there is nothing "holy" about a fact. Claiming the mere existence of a fact (whether one actually exists or not) is NOT a "trump card".

... until they're not.

Since we can't even establish a fact about what a fact is, and you have no desire to learn about that which you do not know, I have the feeling that very few facts will be established between us.

So you lefties stop your nonsense of saying Trump is a threat to our democracy. It's you lefties that are and have been
a threat to our Constitutional Republic. Suck it up lefties. Like the guy in the video says, KNOW YOUR SHIT!

And who might that be? I've known all about our government for decades now. I just put that meme up
there so you brainless libs can get the real facts of the U.S. being a Constitutional Republic, and not as
you libs believe it to be a democracy.

Your anger is only matched by your pin-headed narrowmindedness, Hater. You've repeatedly proved you are a liar, not a Christian and not the brightest person even among MAGAts. In short, you're a fucking idiot. No wonder you're a loser who hates others.

I don't even hate you Mr. Braindead, for being the Christian I am I would only feel sorry for you
for being so deluded and factually wrong on almost if not every political issue there is. You should
be able to recognize my happy nature by taking a peek at my avatar. That's anything but hatred for
a fellow human being, and that's not to suggest that I hate liberals in general just because I wish
they would all flee America immediately so the rest of we patriotic Americans can get back to
living the good life under an upcoming administration that is geared once again to Make America
like the shining city upon the hill as Reagan once suggested, and that's what Trump will certainly do
come Jan 20th going forward.

Hater, you are free to lie as much as you like but you're a fucking moron if you believe people can't see through you.

Your hatred is a choice. God gave us free will so that we could choose to be in God's light or step into the darkness. Your hatred is stepping away from God into the darkness. Your choice, but I think it's a bad choice.
