Would you believe that the people in a democracy look poorly on attempts to overthrow that democracy? Shocking stuff, but it’s true.
Unrelated, I do have questions. I find myself wondering where you came by your taste for leather. Did you acquire it later in life or were you born with a boot in your mouth? And is the brain damage from licking up all the polish, or being dropped repeatedly on your head?
And to be fair, the US isn’t a “democracy”. It’s a constitutional republic with democratically elected representatives. Semantics, I know, but accuracy counts.
I just want to point out that the majority of people are manipulated by massive corporations on a daily basis. They just use it for immediate profit by getting them to buy things. They could easily start manipulating people for political gain, of which they’ve tried in the past with varying degrees of success.
This is expressly what a constitutional federal republic (a specific type of democracy) is meant to prevent.
I know exactly what fascism is. Being anti-democracy does not in itself make you a fascist, but it’s a very strong sign that you are. Either way you’re an asshole and I don’t particularly care what flavor of asshole you are.
Never thought being pro-freedom meant fascist to intellectuals such as yourself. A system that could swing from election to election based on one vote seems pretty fucking horrible tbh, especially in the US with our deep partisan divdes. Imagine the sheer horror the libs would go through whe the country went 50.0000000001 to 49.9999999999 conservative and abortion became illegal for 4 years! Bet you’d hate democracy then!
For the record, I’m solidly pro choice, pro 2A, athiest and couldn’t care less who you want to spend your naked time with. Find another lazy insult, fascist already wore itself out, and it doesn’t describe the people you think it does - bet you agree with keeping Trump off the ballot. “Democratic”, indeed.

If you’re incapable of clicking a link, we can go to the host stand and get you a placemat and some crayons. The US is not a democracy, by definition, regardless of what your kindergarten teacher is telling you.

I’ve never seen someone both frothing at the mouth and have a raging hard on at the same time.
In my defense, those were both your mother’s fault and you didn’t knock before you walked in.
God damn
K. That’s fucking funny! Imagine that, humor in a meme thread!!!
You can definitely tell both a person’s level of intelligence and creativity, by how quickly they resort to “your mother” jokes.
I’ll leave you to your sexually charged fantasies about hate-fucking the opposition.
But she doesn’t seem opposed to it.
Also funny
Unappreciated wit is, thankfully, a tragedy you’ll never have to experience.
Alternately: Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what you cheer for

Nobody means “universal direct democracy” when they say “democracy”. Not the ancient Athenians, not the Swiss, nobody.
This is a very disingenuous talking point.
It’s not a talking point. Seems quite a few Americans don’t know what our actual form of government is called. Accuracy counts.
Words mean what the people using them agree that they mean.
You are holding a minority position here. It would seem you do not know what your form of government is called.
Minority view or not, it’s correct. Just because it’s a majority doesn’t make it correct.
Well, you are correct by a minority. But incorrect by the majority.
Its called perspective and language. Study papers need to define the word sometimes from the ground up so the paper becomes understandable.
Guess it depends on what the definition of “is” is. Hate it all you want, I’m right.
I guess your ego to be right is more worth than valuable conversations where people actually understand each other by being on similar wavelengths.
Congratulation. You are right. But I dont know where.
In other words it’s a shitty democracy.
Democracy, by definition, is 50% +1 vote, otherwise known as “mob rule”. That would be an even shittier system to live under.
Ok fascist.

The fact that you called me a fascist proves you don’t know what the word means
You mean this?

And you’re a fuckwit! Name calling is fun!
