Two reasons why democrats hate using the word Republic when identifying America's political system.

[rightwinger]

Who's trying to pretend Lee and David and Forrest weren't democrats?

They were all Southerners
That was the overriding factor

Without slavery, there would be no need for a Confederacy

A Nation where 40 percent of the population was in bondage

You should have written the Abe speeches for him then.
The term confederacy in no way means accepting slaves.
Again, Abe invaded the south and per Abe he would also keep slaves since that was not his objection.
The truth of that era of history is Abes side got to write the history. So it boils down to he promoted propaganda.

When Abe was elected, he defended slavery. In fact he wanted to export those willing to move.

 

[rightwinger]

A Democracy'' is a form of government. It's is antithetical to a Republic,'' which is also a form of government.

''Democracy'' is an aspect of ''a Republic.''

Not at all……Our Government is both a Democracy AND a Republic

Not all Republics are Democracies

Funny how the current ancestors of the South pretend Abe was right to defeat them.

Tell me. are women actually men and are men really women?
Your argument makes no sense. None at all.

There is far more to this than simply voting.

When you voted, and of course not for Trump, did you daily defend him because he was voted in?

No, it isn't. That doesn't even make sense. ''A Democracy'' and ''a Republic'' are antithetical forms of government.

This ain't Plato's Republic, RWer.

America is a true Republic.

Well...it's supposed to be anyway. The Founders are likely rolling over in their graves...

Actually I have posted many defenses of the South. NEVER at any time was it over slavery. It was that you and I own the right to be party to the creation of a government we can abide.

The North could not stand this sort of freedom.

Hey, you lied. I figured you were honest enough to quit this argument.

The North could not stand this sort of freedom.

And the South could not stand freedom for its slaves.

Lincoln on Slavery - Lincoln Home National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)

Lincoln began his public career by claiming that he was "antislavery" -- against slavery's expansion, but not calling for immediate emancipation.

is being antislavery defending slavery?

Quote what Abe told reporters when he invaded VA?

If you have no memory, he told them his invasion had nothing to do with slaves.

Not sure that is true. More like they embrace heritage and not the Confederate government

 

[Hollie]

That is what Republicans want to do

Have state legislatures overturn the vote
Restrict voting, raise the age, require tests, eliminate mail in
Terminate the Constitution and overturn the vote

Your, “….because I say so” claims are nonsense.

As you said here on the forum, Abe was not calling to free the slaves.

I never said it did. My post had nothing to do with Abe. That's what makes your response a strawman.

Like you embraced Trump as president?
