  4.  @WildRebel69  Doesn't change the fact that we are a democracy. We fit the defintion, therefore we are one.

  5.  @WildRebel69  That's actually exactly how it works. If you for the defintion of something then you are that thing. Democracy: a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. In the US all eligible citizens vote to elect representatives. That's democracy.

  6.  @WildRebel69  Right, but fitting the defintion of a thing makes you that thing. It's not just people saying we're a democracy, it's actually fitting the criteria. You're confusing direct democracy with all forms of democracy. In a representative democracy you vote for representatives. I never said we aren't a republic. We are in fact a constitutional democratic republic.

  8.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  It didn't happen. The performer was wearing a pair of tights, which ripped at the thigh, revealing skin underneath. The discolouration and circular imagery tricked your eyes into believing what they wanted to believe.

  16.  @jen0718  Nope, never was. There was no backpeddling, they just had to educate people like yourself.

  17. ​ @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  I guess you missed the whole point again. Do you know who Dionysus is?

  18.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  Yes it did. Nobody has their testicles out. Stop believing everything you read in the Mail.

  19.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  A smokescreen, or your excuse to be offended?

  20.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  That didn't happen. Try again.

  21.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  It didn't happen. The performer was wearing a pair of tights, which ripped at the thigh, revealing skin underneath. The discolouration and circular imagery tricked your eyes into believing what they wanted to believe. Because she was making her own statement. That doesn't change the actual meaning. And again, care to explain the blue guy wearing only flowers on a platter of food? It's about as Christian as self-worth.

  22.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  Ther was a different camera angle that shows you are wrong. Why are you so obsessed with staring at a guys junk?

  23.  @mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv  There was a different camera angle that shows you are wrong. But I suppose we all see what we want to see.

  28. ​ @kevinlee7678  Except the law doesn't require a victim. The point is creating a fair market.

  29. And suspend parts of their constitution. And run for reelection despite laws prohibiting it. And cut the size of the rest of government to consolidate power. And march the military into the legislative building to force them to agree to change the law. Why are Sky viewers so clearly pro-fascism?

  30. And a democracy. Why do people keep believing this lie, it's utterly ridiculous.

  31. There are more than 1 kind of democracy. Voting for representatives is a representative democracy.

  32. Look up constitutional democracy.

  33. Watching snowflakes seethe is a reward by itself.

  34. Looks awesome.

  35.  @TorontoJon  And they were fighting against? Oh right, more Christians.

  36. You mean aside from removing us from multiple international agreements, increasing the deficit and removing parents from their children at the border?

  37. Full mask-off insurrection this time then?

  38. You can just say American.

  39. Democracies are, by definition, democratic. The US system has issues that make it less democratic, but that also makes it less of a democracy. These 2 things are 1 in the same.

  40. So you don't vote for representatives? Do they just get appointed or something? Is it a random lottery?
    1
  41. Yeah, none of that is true. It was, again, a reference to Bacchanalia, festivals of Baccus. Not sure why you think the dude wearing only flowers on a 6 foot platter of food and flowers is somehow Christian 🤣 The horse was a referene to the Gallo-Roman religion, Sequana is the goddess of the river Seine. I get it, white horses are triggering to snowflakes, but do try to keep up. Honestly, this whole issue is just American ignorance in a can.

  42.  @M60gunner1971  Yes we are.

  43.  @rd9793  But we are a republic...and a democracy. Republic means we aren't a monarchy, you know that right? Republicans are anti-monarchy.

  44.  @funman9702  A state where the supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives. A democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. We democratically elect representatives to our republic.

  45.  @bozmerz4358  Meh. 1. The Constitution has issues. 2. Admitting that all legitimate governments are some form of democracy means that either you agree with the original designation, that we are in fact a democracy, or you think that the government is illegitimate.

  46.  @backalleyburrito1815  We're both. What's funny is that US democracy is more new than people give it credit before. Calling us a democracy before the 1965 voting rights act is more of a contentious argument, but giving the people the power to choose their leaders is indeed a democracy.
    1
  47.  @nickbierman3640  The fact that we vote for leaders, and the vast majority of people have the right to vote in those elections, makes us a democracy.

  48.  @patlyons1616  But anyone can get on the ticket.

  49.  @backalleyburrito1815  No, it isn't. The US is democratic constitutional republic. Democratic: The vast majority of citizens have the right to vote and decide who leads the nation. The more people who can vote, the more democratic somewhere is. Arguably the US was not really a democracy for a very long time, really only finally crossing that threshold in 1965, or I suppose 1975 depending on your stance. Constitutional: We have a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged to be governed. Republic: A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch. The word "republican" is commonly used to specify that someone is anti-monarch, such as during the French revolution. Or, in short, we vote in leaders, have an established foundation for the government and have representatives. A nation could easily use any collection of these 3 separate things, or none of them at all, but we as a nation use all 3.

  50.  @backalleyburrito1815  You really can't think for yourself can you. Tell you what, why don't you define democracy for me, as your definition seems to be lacking.
