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

What don't you know what a strawman is or why it doesn't serve your argument?

So you defend slavery in modern day Africa.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

I don't. I love that this country constitutionally protects birth right citizenship for instance.

Yes you do

So you defend slavery in modern day Africa.

So you don't know what a strawman is?

Who started this "we are not a democracy" retardation? I really, sincerely want to know who it is the brainless tards are parroting.

Conservatives today

I am American and I have no doubt I understand the Constitution better than you Bingos.

You post like a foreigner

Published in 1835:

Democracy in America - Wikipedia

[Curried Goats]

Yes you do

Right. So your claims that I hate talking about the Constitution are unfounded. I'm glad you cucks have seeded power to a piece of paper that protects our right to demographically replace you.

Someone had to be the originator of this astoundingly retarded meme.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Hey Everybody!

I got an idea…..Why don’t we talk about a different subject?

Well Curried brought up the subject of slavery in America's past. Might as well bring up slavery in modern day Africa

 

[Curried Goats]

You post like a foreigner

That's only because you're entirely ignorant.

Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville should be required reading for every American schoolchild.

Best political science book ever written.

I think it comes from the Libertarian wing

Yes you post like IM2 One Note Samba about wacism and slavery -- both of you total strawmen

I brought up slavery to point out that having a constitution doesn't mean it will prevent abuse of the individual. You missed that rather obvious point. Went right by you.

Your irony is so ironic and projecting that you can't go to the first post of the page to see who it is?

 

[g5000]

Just my opinion but, the first reason is the word Republic is to close to Republican.

Oh, man. That's priceless.

No Nation on earth operates as a true Democracy

That form of Democracy is…….Two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for Supper

I would say that the US version is looking quite dated at this stage...

Couple things which have been modernised by now...

1. One Man One Vote has been replaced with preference voting
2. Single seat districts replaced by Multi-seat districts
3. Senate votes per seat is grossly unfair and doesn't offer US Citizens equal representation

4. There should be 13 Supreme Court Justices
5. Supreme Court Justices should have a term < 20yrs

6. The US Constitution too hard to change, the US Constitution is considered a 'Dead Constitution'. It isn't a living one that changes with the will of the people in stead of being stuck in the past. In Other Countries, the Constitution should be changeable a simple majority.
7. The US Constitution is too short it leaves too much interpretation for Judges. US constitution is fractions of a size of other constitutions.. US constitution has 4,543 words, EU has 60,000 words...

They would be a start

Nope. That's not what a strawman is. People aren't strawman you stupid Bingo, arguments can be.....

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Progressive "thought": Slavery is a problem, but only in America 150 years ago and not in Africa today; CO2 will kill all life on Earth, but the planets biggest emitter China gets a free pass because per capita

You are not the originator of this meme. You are one of the brainless parrots. This meme has been showing up on this forum for quite a while now.

You've never had an original thought in your life.

So tell me, who told you this ridiculous lie? I'll start backtracking from there.

Was it Tucker?
