Why is a Constitutional Republic more proper than a democracy?

FUCK U!

Trump is not a fascist; they just need lies to peddle, is all.

You do not give a definition.

lol FDR was elected 4 times. His charisma was certainly a factor in his abilities to lead and promote his programs.

#1 is not a factor in all fascist agendas, just the examples used as propaganda narratives.

you're a chowderhead

 

[EdwinA]

You do not give a definition.

Why should I? No confidence in your own spin? You contradicted yourself already anyway. No need for me to bother with what anybody can look up for themselves and make up their own BS like you have.

 

[EdwinA]

One you can't refute with tripping over your own spin.

You're not saying anything. Stop wasting my time.

Projection. Run along and troll somebody else, you're failing here.

You can't give a definition of fascism. I provided one.

 

[EdwinA]

You provided a false one. Congratulations on your imaginary achievement. And your 'Touched Me Last !!!' kid's game is also pretty rare and impressive, too, at a kindergarden, anyway.

fuck off troll

Says a dumb troll.

THAT was your point? That the US isn't an Afghan Jirga?

Ok...

That might sound to any casual reader like a dumb observation. But, believe it or not, it's the only factual thing this poster has said in this whole debate. So don't be too harsh when you judge him.

I guess that wraps it up.

Thanks for playing....

He's not playing your game, twit.

A review of the electoral college and its history many here haven't read or care about.. It was basically the first 'super delegate' gimmick, used to disenfranchise a significant percentage of the voter base.

The Electoral College doesn't disenfranchise anyone.

Democrats implemented a variation of it in the 1980's in their own Party rules, disenfranchising pretty nearly the same base of voters in their Primaries. The GOP will probably follow suit after Trump's coup, given how easy it was for Trump to run around the RNC and the Bushes and the Republican establishment.

What "Trump coup"??

Many of the reasons for adopting it are long gone and no longer relevant.

The States still exist, twit. That is the reason the Electoral College exists.

Electors must meet in their home States and never as a unified body. The framers
believed that by keeping the electors scattered throughout the country, they reduced op-
portunity for “intrigue or cabal” among electors in influencing the outcome of an election.

This one in particular is made invalid by the two party monopoly and national organizing; neither are 'local' and certainly are cabals, big ones.

Two parties is not a monopoly.
The Electoral College is not invalid. The reasons it exists is still there.

It is true. Trump clearly is a fascist.

DON'T TRY TO BLAME DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM ON TRUMP!

 

[Into the Night]

So was FDR; not all fascism produces the same results as Hitler and Mussolini's.

Correct. FDR was a fascist and a communist.

 

[Into the Night]

How was FDR a fascist?

FDR attempted to manipulate the markets, through the confiscation gold, the New Deal, etc.
FDR is also a communist, since he created fiat currency.

 

[Into the Night]

How is that fascism?

RQAA. Stop asking the same question over and over mindlessly. It's already been answered multiple times.

 

[Into the Night]

How is it not? He didn't seize any industries, his New Deal didn't seize any factories, etc.

Yes it did. He seized the banking industry by creating fiat currency. That's communism.

The different "fascist" movements and regimes have varied considerably in their specific goals and practices, but they are usually said to be characterized by several common features:

1. Militant nationalism, proclaiming the racial and cultural superiority of the dominant ethnic group and asserting that group's inherent right to a special dominant position over other peoples in both the domestic and the international order
2. The adulation of a single charismatic national leader said to possess near superhuman abilities and to be the truest representation of the ideals of the national culture, whose will should therefore literally be law

Redefinition fallacy.

Fascism is government manipulation of markets. It is nothing else.

 

[Into the Night]

You do not give a definition.

RQAA. The definition has already been given to you multiple times. Stop asking the same question over and over mindlessly.
