I won't be repeating it. My wife and I sold our wedding and engagement rings to buy guns and gun training courses. We won't let them take our business neighbors some day. We all need to train ourselves to protect our democracy before it's too late. It sucks that I wake up crying every day now because this is our world. I wasn't meant to be a soldier I was a cheese maker. I made fucking cheese. But now I'm a soldier thrown into some 1984 remake god it's awful

*Representative democracy would have also been accepted.
Nope. You're dead wrong. The presence of a Constitution protecting peoples' rights eliminates the term 'democracy' immediately and completely.
It's too bad you government schoolers can't go to school four more years so you can finally have a 12th grade education.
“A representative democracy, where the right of election is well secured and regulated & the exercise of the legislative, executive and judiciary authorities, is vested in select persons, chosen really and not nominally by the people, will in my opinion be most likely to be happy, regular and durable.” -- Alexander Hamilton
lol
The PRESENCE of a CONSTITUTION
ELIMINATES the concept of DEMOCRACY.
We didn't SET up a representative Democracy, we set up a REPUBLIC.
You're gonna wear that away from here,
whether you or Alexander Hamilton like it
or not.
Because you're NEVER gonna talk your way out of it.
let's see...
Founding Father of the United States of America
orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
some dude on the internet called patriotwaves
If this is not a representative democracy, why do we have representatives, moran? lul
e - I will answer it for everyone else since i Am bLoCkEd : The United States of America is a constitutional republic that functions as a representative democracy. Any constitutional scholar will tell you that.
Hamilton called it thatbbut it is not what it is.
Hamilton real name was Alexander Levine. He worked for the Rothschild Bank and started the first u.s. treasury contract with Rothschilds bank.
When that contract ran out in 1811 Madison refused to re contract and the war of 1812 started. It was over in 1916 when we signed the contract again.
Hamilton wanted anrep democracy and not republic. Big difference.
America literally functions that way though, opinion or otherwise.
I like how a quote from Hamilton's vision of the republic, that literally describes how it functions to this day, still makes you go "no". lol It's funny. Not quite hysterical, but funny.
Granted, that was Hamilton's opinion. He and Thomas Paine had a higher view of representative democracy than most of the rest of the Founders, however.
The problem with any government without a bill of rights can hardly be overstated. This is why both George Mason and Samuel Adams refused to sign on to the Constitution with out one.

Higher view? A republic is much loftier than a representative democracy.
A republic leaves you in charge not the hired help.
And, we went with a Republic instead, rather than trust just the authorities.
We installed the constitution so you could see what proper actions by government are, and it's not legal to go past them.
Even if they declare it legal to go past them.
You're never going to win this.
Even if the other three idiots voting for you wish you could.
You're wrong.
The presence of that constitution
instead of just trusting selected authorities,
means "Republic.''
Most people that lost an argument wait days to "follow-up" for some reason.
I am glad you're apparently alive and well!
Also, obviously, you're blocked.
shucks i was hoping you would answer oh well bye
