No Kings

And why do you refuse to acknowledge you've already YOURSELF referred to it correctly as OUR REPUBLIC?
ALL this insane circular description switching just arrives back at my original point.
Our government is a Republic.
You said so yourself.
Because it’s non-the-less a democracy as well as they aren’t mutually exclusive. My original and only argument.

Tim, and others who joined the argument late didn’t realize what was being argued and unwittingly backed my argument that the U.S. IS a democracy.
 
What you are doing, because you are a child, is persisting an argument you've had your *** beaten on, looking for any little way to use semantics to be able to say "See! The word Democracy is there, so I'm right." You simply refuse to agree with the Founders, every encyclopedia ever written, every textbook ever published, every constitutional scholar, and the basic facts themselves. The sign of pure idiocy.

Here is the full, LITERAL textbook definition....Uhhhhgain.



Focus on the first description, the first sentence very very carefully. That is what we are. A Constitutional Federal Republic.

You have feminine tendencies, speak with a lisp, wear Celine Dion t-shirts, bathe in bubbles and bath salts, and never miss your weekly manicure. That doesn't make you a female. You just have female tendencies.

A "representative Democracy" is not a pure "Democracy." You continue to argue we're not a Constitutional Federal Republic. You will be wrong with every insistence otherwise.

Blather on Tard.
😂 Feminine, speak with a lisp, bubble baths, manicures, retarded!

Lose an argument, resort to juvenile insults.

Just because you cling to this erroneous premise, doesn’t make it so.
You’re wrong.
Multiple posters, myself included, have beat you over the head with historical documents, dictionaries, AI, and FACTS from multiple reputable sources, and yet you insist on not acknowledging what is and what has been since 1787.

Again, this TIM’s post, NOT mine:
So in short:

The U.S. is a democracy in form (it uses democratic elections), but a republic in structure (it’s governed by elected representatives under a constitution).

That’s why terms like “democratic republic” or “representative democracy” are both accurate descriptions.
BOTH accurate. In other words, NOT mutually exclusive. You’re wrong.

Believe it or not, I don’t speak for Tim, and Tim doesn’t speak for me.
You have this horrible habit of ascribing others’ words in arguments with others.
Please, all due respect, read the linked article below in its entirety. Don’t pull one sentence out and say, “SEE?! Right there.” It accurately describes what our Foundihg Fathers’ intent was, as well as they struggles they endured trying to perfect the government they wanted to form.

 
So what does AI say about the United States' government?

AI Overview

Yes, the United States has a republican form of government, as established by its Constitution
Key aspects of this system include:
  • Representation: Citizens elect representatives to make decisions and pass laws on their behalf.
  • Rule of Law: The government operates within the boundaries set by the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.
  • Separation of Powers: The government is divided into three branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) with a system of checks and balances to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful.
  • Popular Sovereignty: The power of the government ultimately derives from the people ("We the People").
The term "republican form of government" is explicitly mentioned in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government".

Huh. How about AOI (absence of intelligence) - what does it say?

"uNiTeD StAtEs DeMoKrAsEE"
- Dr. Flogstain, the ultimate AOI

Okaaaay ... arguing further with AOI is as productive as yelling at a rug and telling it not to stain.

You literally just mentioned multiple posters in your last post.

😂 Did YOU read it? It literally makes reference to the representative DEMOCRACY you are denying.

You’re utterly hopeless.
I mentioned the other posters IN WHAT CONTEXT?!
Did I say you said things that someone else actually said? Yes or no, as you like asking?

I literally tried extending an olive branch and you insist on semantics, deflecting, obfuscating, and acting like an entitled toddler throwing a tantrum for no reason whatsoever.
I get it.
You’re beyond hopeless.
You insist on going down with the ship.
So be it.

Sadly, you probably don't even realize this is by far the most profound defeat you've suffered on this board. And that's given the thousands of battles you've lost here. This discussion isn't open to interpretation, yet...you interpret.
 
Again, this TIM’s post, NOT mine:

BOTH accurate. In other words, NOT mutually exclusive. You’re wrong.

That is again a PORTION of my post. You omit the first sentence, selectively, and intentionally, which states unequivocally that we are a CONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL REPUBLIC.

You'd do well at ABC, editing video and interviews to remove the context so as to shape your own narrative.
