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

[bigrebnc1775]

Was it? Seems like the political power wasn’t really held by the people, was it.

I know you want to make America democratic so you can have mob rule. It ain't happening

The United States is a democratic republic. Not all republics are.

• Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch."
• Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."

The United States Constitution does not describe the United States as an area occupying a land mass in North America, yet it is.

If you don't like the United States, or other democratic forms of government, you don't have to.

Jefferson’s most fundamental political belief was an “absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority.” He believed that the will of the people, expressed through elections, provided the most appropriate guidance for directing the republic’s course.​

The U.S.Govermrnt defines America as..,
While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.

You don’t want America to be democratic because you cant win elections.

You had to import voters to win. Cheat to win.

Screw you and your Lying ass

I don't think the United States will eliminate democratic elections, even if some losers can't handle the results.

People with no medical skills or knowledge are voting against treatment recommended by medical professionals for trans children simply because it’s all weird and creepy.

That is wrong.
Before puberty, there cannot possibly be such a thing as "trans children".
Until puberty kicks in, they mentally neither male nor female, but just children.
So it is incredibly wrong to then use medical treatments on children, in order to change that which has not even happened yet.
There are no "medical professionals" who "recommend" any sort of treatment before puberty, except blocker is puberty is hitting at too young of an age.

Dumbass who told you that lie? We don't have democratic elections because we are a Republic.
John Adams said to John Taylor
Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy. It is not true in Fact and no where appears in history. Those Passions are the same in all Men under all forms of Simple Government, and when unchecked, produce the same Effects of Fraud Violence and Cruelty. When clear Prospects are opened before Vanity, Pride, Avarice or Ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate Phylosophers and the most conscientious Moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves, Nations and large Bodies of Men, never.

You keep acting like that's a true statement we aren't a democracy and we've had elections for over 200 years that what you call a Republic
You want to push the democrascy shit so you get the mob acting crazy. That shit don't fly in a Republic

 

[Rigby5]

Your opinion is wrong by definition. A Democracy is simply rule by the people and a Representative Republic is a form of Democracy.

Rome was also a Representative Republic, but one which limited the authority of the Comitia (people’s assembly). All power rested in the Senate - which only the wealthy elites could run for. The Consul and Religious leaders could only be elected/appointed from the Senate.

The American Republic limits the power of the people by giving each state, regardless of size or population, 2 senators. But the USA is still a democracy.

Right wingers keep pretending that the US isn’t a democracy, as justification for their anti democratic policies of voter suppression and gerrymandering.

A republic is a form of democracy, in which representatives are elected, as opposed to direct democracy where everyone votes on every question.

Canada has Constitutional Monarchy which is another form of democracy. All democracies have a constitution. The USA is no different than any other Democratic country in the world in that regard.

Technically a "democracy" is not representative but all the people vote on everything, and there is no constitution or codified laws ahead of time that protect minorities.
It is essentially a lynch mob mentality, and awful.
Only republics have constitutions, not plain democracies.
You are confused because the US and Canada are republics, not democracies.
There is no democracy now, and only ancient Athens was the only democracy I have ever heard of.

Rome was at first a monarchy, was only a representative democracy for a short time from 509 BC, and quickly went to a dictatorship under Ceasar Augustus in 27 BC.
And even when Rome was technically a representative democracy, it was actually a fascist oligarchy.
{...
There were annual elections, but the republican system was an elective oligarchy, not a democracy; a small number of powerful families largely monopolised the magistracies.

Is there anything that you think should be off limits to majority rule?

Absolutely everything should be off limits to majority rule.
Majority rule is how you end up with whites turning Blacks into slaves.
Nothing should be up to majority rule except the election of candidates for representation.

[bigrebnc1775]

[bigrebnc1775]

Your confusion may arise from your inability to distinguish between a direct democracy and a democratic republic. Of course, the U.S. is the latter.

If you don't like democracy, you may want to avoid the top 20 and embrace the bottom 20:

​

Democracy Ranking produces an annual global ranking of liberal democracies. The applied conceptual formula, which measures the quality of democracy, integrates democracy and other characteristics of the political system with the performance of non-political dimensions (gender, economy, knowledge, health, and environment). Democracy Ranking has emphasized a broader understanding of democracy, creating a conceptual link between politics and the output and performance of society.​

No it wasn’t…he was living with his own family in Cali

It was sent to his bank in Delaware, and he uses his dad's address in Delaware, where he lived the previous 2 years as his address tied to his and his businesses bank accounts.

No money was sent to Joe Biden from China and no money was sent to Joe Biden's house.

You were wrong in your post, and your posted claim was wrong.

Now, man up!

Technical Difficulties

the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.

 

[schmidlap]

Why do you hate our democratic elections?

"This democracy of ours,
which sometimes we've treated so lightly,
is more than ever a comfortable cloak,
so let us not tear it asunder,
for no man knows,
once it is destroyed,
where or when he will find its
protective warmth again."
