@tee true democracy lets the majority dictate to the minority.

@tee 'impress you' lol...you have zero power so i have no desire to impress you. i didnt say it in the same exact way. read through my comments.

@tee you didnt answer the question i keep asking you. how do you verify your votes...your and your countryfolk?????
1
@tee i have told you what jefferson said and why the u.s. isnt a democracy.
1
@tee thomas jefferson spoke of tyranny of the majority which why the u.s. is a representative democracy i.e. republic. at the end of the day we have to trust that the votes are counted right and with millions voting there is no way. democracy is an illusion.

@tee greece was no true demcracy, she had slaves. so much for 'uplifting the oppressed' huh. the u.s. had slaves too and yet again.
1
@tee true the government is twisted at all levels!
1
@tee prejudice no realistic yes. you might think you reside in a democracy but when you are dealing with millions of people you have no way to verify your own vote let alone millions of other people. therefore you trust a fox to protect chickens.
1
@tee that is a huge part. one must be able to do the job too.
1
@tee true democracy is tyranny of the majority.
1
@tee now ya got it
1
@tee yet in a democracy the leaders come from the people
1
@tee again over calibration. spend more time thinking and less time analyzing minutia. the only power you have is maybe to be a tad annoying. in reality you or i have zero power. people with power dont desire democracy cause this causes them to give power to the majority of the populous.

@tee well leader as in head of city, county, state or country. one who ensures there is runnung water, crops, police, schools, jobs, hospitals etc.
1
@tee yet the u.s. is a republic for this reasen. cant have 51% running over 49%...it can get hairy when dealing with 300 million people.
1
you can do it
1
@tee most of the world operates under tyranny. religion is tyrannical by nature. billions live under this world wide.
1
@tee a leader can come from the people no matter how they govern.
1
@tee well sir a 'pseudo-democracy' is no democracy...it either is or it isnt. its like being dead or alive...either or. only weak, powerless serfs and peasant lust for democracy cause it gives the illusion that we (yes we) have power. a king doesnt want democracy and neither does your boss at work. religion doesnt want democracy and neither does the guy with the tech 9 to your head.

@tee i think you are projecting AGAIN.
1
@tee now you tangent off into open and direct insult attempts. this mean you are getting to the bottom of the barrel. listen up i might have some of those attributes but what redeems me is that i am just an average person who will likely never be rich or famous. now can you say the same thing too?
1
@tee you must not know what 'pseudo' means. i think you are mistaking it for 'quasi.' look them up and return for your bare ass spanking.
1
@tee well only in those exact words
1
@tee yet they are still a leader from the people.
1
@tee sounds utopian. nice in theory but kaput in practice. those with power never hand it over. they make you think you have no power OR that you have some power to sedate your revolutionary ideas.
1
@tee you must be a freshman psychology major at your local community college. you are trying too hard and in turn are completely missing my point. i will smelt it all down to this. If you believe that you live in a democracy when and how do you verify that your vote AND the votes of your coutryfolk as well? let me know meh.

@tee a person who dwelled among the common society as in lived
