Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

That's why Dems are trying to ban books, even dictionaries, from school libraries... oh, wait.

And the third one is definitely still a GOP position. Dems believe in soft power of America.

Such an ignorant phrase. And so widely used.

1) Being a republic and being a democracy are NOT mutually exclusive. As a result, the phrase makes no sense whatsoever.

"A republic, based on the Latin phrase res publica, is a state in which political power rests with the public through their representatives—in contrast to a monarchy." - Wikipedia

"Republic - A government in which the supreme power belongs to the citizens through their right to vote" - Merriam Webster

Democracy - a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting" - Merriam Webster

Now, if you don't mind (and I know you do) please try to learn a few things. First, try to learn the definitions above. Democracy does NOT mean that every decision must be voted on directly by every citizen. And being a republic is not in any way opposed to being a democracy.

Finally, learn that saying, "We aren't a democracy, we're a Republic" is moronic.

Thank you.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the people who aren't overly fond of morons advertising themselves as such.

You mean like Mark Twain, Dr. Seuss, etc. ?

I used to play this game...even up until last week. And in Europe you'd be correct.

But upon reflection, in America we've changed the meaning of the word 'republic' to mean 'constitutional representative democracy.'

That's what people mean when they say 'america is a republic not a democracy' so I think we should just go with it. Even though those who say that are being sloppy.

but in europe and elsewhere, saying 'america is a republic not a democracy' makes zero sense.

If one accepts your definition; 'republic' means 'constitutional representative democracy' then not only is it true that being a republic and being a democracy are NOT mutually exclusive but much more than this; it means that a nation being a republic absolutely guarantees that it is also a democracy.

Thus, the phrase 'we aren't a Democracy, we're a Republic' is INCORRECT with 100% certainty (not to mention moronic).

Our let’s run right wingers are a bit behind on their groups talking points. .

yesterdays “we aren’t a democracy we are a republic”. Has been replaced with “it wasn’t rape it was only sexual assault”.

Bidenomics continues to batter & bruise millions of tushies. FAIL.

Biden to Campaign on Trump's Economic Policies After 'Bidenomics' Fail

@BreitbartNews

Biden's plan to campaign on Trump's economic policies is a recognition that Biden's economy is a losing line of attack for his reelection.

"g"

Figures. Typical radical far-left liberal.

Grandma and Grandpa who never have and never will come within 3 states of the border, no less !!

Nonetheless, SCARY !!!!

ok here's the full m'aga word definition list.

To interpret m'agaspeak, know thee the following:

'republic' means 'constitutional representative democracy'

and

'democracy' means 'pure democracy in which everyone votes on each law passed.'

If you accept these alternative m'agaworld definitions, then indeed 'America is a republic not a democracy.'

I wish they hadn't done this, but they have. And arguing word definitions is kind of a waste of time. We know what the m'agas are trying to say so let's just move on.

At this rate, I predict by Wednesday the right wing as a group will settle in on the talking point that Taylor Swift is a deep state operative and the entire NFL season is nothing more than an elaborate plan to hurt Trump from getting elected.

I'll take that bet

Yeah, well, that's great, you STILL haven't explained "g."

Some Deep State code word? Maybe the trigger for another witch hunt against poor Don?

Or is "g" for gender, as in "Let's take over all the bathrooms!" ???

Whatever it is, it's SCARY. Come clean!

Close the damn border.

you're going to laugh.

I wrote a criticism of 22's 'America is a republic not a democracy' and then had the epiphany that it was a semantic debate not a political science debate. And 22 had been whining about my fact checks.

So in order to stop a semantic debate from developing and to make friends with 22, I erased my text. You can't delete a post so I just erased what I wrote and replaced it with a G.
