No, we are not a democracy. We're a constitutional republic. A pure democracy is a horrific system where one's rights and life is subject completely on how the majority of people feel about you and your racial, social, religious, etc. group, where the majority can oppress the minority with ease.

This is true, we are a moderated democracy, not a pure democracy.

So you just hate Democrats. That's why you're so fucking irrational. You're only against being oppressed by a minority if it's your fellow wing nuts doing it.

Also, suck my dick, loser.

No, I think Democrats are fucking stupid for whining about something they had 50 years to make sure never happened had they cared more about actually protecting that 'right' than about ginning up votes.

don't tell me you agree with Gondwanaland about: A pure democracy is a horrific system where one's rights and life is subject completely on how the majority of people feel about you and your racial, social, religious, etc. group, where the majority can oppress the minority with ease.

Still an irrational response. The bottom line is that the overturn of Roe was an example of the minority ruling over the majority which you claimed to be against. So are you against it or not, twumptard?

I agree that a pure Democracy has that potential and that we need some rights no matter what the majority wants.
 
Gondwanaland said:
No, you lost Roe because Democrats had fucking nearly 50 years to pass a law protecting abortion federally, and failed to fucking do anything because the topic of abortion and the bogeyman of Republicans coming to take it away was too good of a fundraising and support raising issue to actually do anything about.

The Dems did not have to if the Repubs would have left it alone. It sounds like term limits. If you cannot pass laws to stop me, it is your fault.

That's just a sophomoric dodge. If Americans in rural areas don't count for all intents, they aren't being represented. If a president is only beholden to those in dense urban areas, the rest don't count. It isn't just the states that get screwed, it's people living in low density rural areas as well. You are arguing that those who count live in high rise apartments in places like NYC and those that live in somewhere like Podunk Idaho don't.

Many believed Congress did not have that authority.

Because they were trying to populate a vast area and wanted to promote people moving into low population states



We don’t have that problem now

“We should elect the president the way we elect governors, senators, mayors, representatives, everybody else – whoever gets the most votes wins,” Raskin said. “We spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year exporting American democracy to other countries, and the one thing they never come back to us with is the idea that, ‘Oh, that electoral college that you have, that’s so great, we think we will adopt that too’.”

He was playing politician, since the odds of the US amending the Constitution to remove/change the Electoral College system are much less than Trump becoming der Fuhrer of the United States of Amerika.

I prefer to fight battles I can win, not piss up a rope.

Gondwana seems to be less than average IQ, poorly-educated but also has a great lacking in understanding both American slang and ideology.

IMO, he's a foreigner...and probably an Aussie.

A small part of that reasoning is his choice of username; gondwanaland is an ancient super continent that includes Australia but not North America.

Some 200 million years ago, Antarctica was joined to South America, Africa, India, and Australia in a single large continent called Gondwanaland. There was no ice sheet, and trees and large animals flourished. Today, only geological formations, coal beds, and fossils remain as clues to Antarctica's warm past.

Okay, cum-landfill, let's go slow for you since you're too littlebrained, what with being a Netherland foreign twat. Which part of my post was wrong? Do you believe that the President is elected directly without an electoral college? Do you believe that the Senate was not previously a non-direct election in states? Are you that ignorant of basic history?
