News flash: we are not a democracy. We are a republic.
Well that’s shows your level of intelligence
Yes I can honestly say that our system of government with is being changed from a democracy to a republic and Trump is taking it to Autocratic.
Democracy is a government by the majority and our Constitution certainly contains enough language to be interpreted that thexwill of the people will prevail.
But through gerrymandaring, and voter suppression along with the outdated electoral college we are a Republic. Where the will of the people is non existent.
Such as the case with Trump and Bush neither won the popular vote but through gerrymeandering were able to become president.
So were these two elected by the will of the people. (No)That’s a republic so your right. The Constituion calls for gerrymandering but what the republicans do is redistricting that’s why multiple courts have ruled what red states are doing because they redistrict with these crazy districts that make no sense other than to gain an advantage for there party. That’s why red states remain red.
Now in the last election the Democratic Party needed a massive voting difference of over 6 million more people in this country voted democratic in order to win the house. Butcould not win the Senate only because of in certain red states that created voter suppression and voter purge through crazy voter registration laws. Exact signature match, damm in Florida you were required to sign a little machine with your finger I didn’t recognize my own signature nor was I able to get my full name in it. How about the native Americans living on reservations they never had street addresses they used P.O. Box numbers they purged these people even though they were voting for years. Exact match in Georgia Florida Thomas versus Tom you were purged from voting and these people were not notified until they got to the poles. Yes they were given provisional ballots they had 48 hours to clear it up and the districts had another 48 hours to verify and we have a White House idiot telling his lunitic right wing that democrats were delay the count so they could dig up votes. What a disgrace. Same thing with the veteran vote it takes time to count these votes.
Now normally this is not an issue in 90% of elections the the margin of victory is large enough that veterans and provisional ballots are not counted.
So are we a republic your probably right because through Republican dirty tactics since 2000 even though more people in this country voted democratic you have been able to elect a congress 14 out of the last 16 years were controlled by Republicans and you still bitch about democrats.
So a republic yup I agree example a small block of population in Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota have a total population of 2.24 million people and 6 senators, California has approximately 38.5 Million people and 6 senators. So I agree we are a republic screw democracy where we no longer have a nation of majority rule and screw the will of the people.
So through Republican BS we have acpresident that’s trying to bring us to an Autocratic form of governing. He is setting up the 2020 election through his lies and firing up the lunitic base when he gets fu$king collbered in the next election there will be violence in this country and that’s what that POS wants
