Democrats forgot what Democracy means.

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Teabaggers of course are obsessed with the words.
Constitutional Republic.
Like a constitutional republic, can't possibly in any way, shape or form a DEMOCRACY.



A constitutional republic is a state where the chief executive and representatives are elected, and the rules are set down in a written constitution.

AND who voted for this?
Could it be the MAJORITY of the founders?
Sounds like a democracy to me.

The head of state and other representatives are elected but they do not have uncontrolled power. What their power is limited to is written in the constitution. If there is dispute about what the constitution means, this is decided by a court system that is independent from the representatives.

AND who voted for this?
Could it be the MAJORITY of the founders?
Sounds like a democracy to me.

When that party pushes sanctuary cities without vox populi, when they legalize drugs and decriminalize theft and defund the police... What IS democracy then? What is the democratic party?

Religious leaders in Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders open their doors for sanctuary; theft is in the penal codes and in California a petty theft are arrested and sentenced for a misdemeanor with one day in jail, a second petty theft can be a felony. As for defunding the police name any police agency that defunds.

I'm sorry to post MaryL; you're ignorant.

We are Constitutional Republic

• of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Democratic party has been doing their best for several years now to take over democracy in many ways. They are intent on orchestrating a peaceful coup where they take over full power of the government and rig it so that they get whatever they want and never lose again. Fortunately, they have fallen short of total success, so far.

 

[d0gbreath]

We were doing pretty good until MaryL left us.

 

[elektra]

Which is one of the many forms of democracy.

We are a Constitutional Republic.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

We are a Constitutional Republic.

Yes, you have said that. It is akin to someone going "nice car you have" and you going "it is a Honda"

For those who have read the Constitution it's clear democracy in America is clear:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude--
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof,
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
Can anyone now delete democracy in America. All mayors, members of city, town and county/ parishes, prosecutors, judges, etc. etc. all have been elected by The People.

I think they still support elections. Sadly, that is all it takes to be better than Trump Republicans.

Could you put that in plain English please?

Let's learn some ancient Greek:
Lachos - the people, the entire population.
Ochlos - slaves, laborers, poor people ...
Plebos - small property owners ...
Demos - large property owners.
Kratos - power ....
uppsssss....
That's how interesting DEMOCRACY is.

 

[BluesLegend]

Mark my words these lawless mobs will turn on the Democrats. Already happened in Seattle.

Wouldn’t that make Trump a Democrat?

They are the Urban Plantation Party... they are the Party of Licentiousness and Indecency... they are the Party of Limitless Illegal Aliens... the Party of the Race Card.

Which should make objective Republicans ask themselves... why-oh-why would America-at-large vote (D)... could it be the nasty traitorous (R) standard bearer?

All of the democrats.
