GOP party convention says quiet part out loud: "We do not want to be a democracy.”

  • What do you think democracy is?

  • No, you guys have just gotten crazy and believe the propaganda.

  • Monarchy is a better system than straight democracy. See above quote.

  • And in comes the tin foil hat guy! Sure dude, that is exactly what the conversation is about!

  • They are not talking about direct democracy, and you are just throwing out names of systems you think gives you credibility.

  • Yeah I dont get it, I want you to do what you want and me to do what I want, and figure out a way to work together. They just want to tell us what to do, crazy when it ends in disaster.

  • Sure a constitution could be bad, but its the best political document that can last the longest period of time. You could make a constitution that is bad but then the smaller units of the government should not agree.

  • A lynch mob is an exaggerated example but it is a perfect analogy. Its more like "democracy is when minorities are legally discriminated against and abused."

  • No they are not.

  • Democracy is a terrible system, as teh saying goes "democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what is for dinner."

  • How about a constitutional republic?

    And looking at the worst case scenerio of a political system is exactly what you should do

    • Metal elitism rule

  • Yes, and they should hate democracy. How do you not understand that democracy is bad? See lynch mob example.

  • That is correct, we dont want a democracy, democracy is never good. As the saying goes "the most pure democracy is a lynch mob headed for the gallows." Meaning that everyone is in agreement except the person that is about to die.

    • Probably, yeah

    Jump

  • Sure, but most of the time its down to diet and activity level.

    • Trump lied and Biden got tongue tied at the first debate. So why is the world only focusing on one?

    Jump

  • I dont want trump as leader, but he is not what you claim. A funny and slightly true quote is a prayer that says "Lord give me the Trump that the left thinks exists." The issue is that you just repeat the same propaganda and it just boring. You dont have anything interesting to say that is why you guys are called NPCs.

    • Probably, yeah

    Jump

  • What is stopping you from feeling better now?

    • Probably, yeah

    Jump

  • Honestly if you feel bad a lot of it has to do with what you eat and how much activity you get.

  • I love when you guys defend indefensible policies. I can give you a deep dive on any one of these things, but you will just say some random nonsense that you think sounds good.

    • Is this NOT about 'saving democracy'?!

    Jump

  • Maybe it is impossible unless the president does something actually bad. You are not going to like this, but I think a democrat president would not be ousted by their people, but a republican would.
