    We have never been a pure democracy so this is just as stupid and pointless as I said. You’re arguing with an imaginary point of view.

      “We’ve never been a pure democracy” sure sounds like “No True Scottsman” to me. More like oligopoly, than any kind of democracy, really.

      But hey, don’t listen to me. I didn’t moderate my rhetoric to your preferred tone while casting aspersions at the Holy Democracy of America. XD

        sure sounds like “No True Scottsman”

        You should learn what that means before you use it

        moderate my rhetoric to your preferred tone

        That’s what we call just telling the truth now? Cool
