Watching the US descend into Fascism due to the ignorance of the public is damned depressing.

#4 Morris highlights two realities in one on-target post:

"Watching the US descend into Fascism due to the ignorance of the public is damned depressing."

As far back as 1998, I was discussing politics with a colleague when I pointed out that one of the goals of the ~~Fascists~~ Republican Party was to destroy the public education system (K-12) in America.

He scoffed at the idea.

And here we are, almost 30 years later, the Fascists ~~Republican Party~~ have absolute power in all of Washington DC, From Article 1 through Article 3, and Americans lag behind in all the important metrics vis-a-vis education level and the ability to independently think.

Very Newsworthy, Morris, as sad as that reality is.

Very Newsworthy.

Thank you.

No, I was educated correctly or at least better than you.

It's a Constitutional Republic. Democracy has nothing to do with it except at the local level.

Do your research.

The reason you progressives hate the constitution and the Electoral College is because it doesnt let mobs make all the decisions.

Our founders were smarter than that.

A democratic republic is a form of government combining democratic principles (power rests with the people) and republican elements (governance by elected representatives). Citizens exercise their power by voting for officials to represent their interests, rather than voting directly on all laws. It is characterized by constitutional limits on government, with the law, rather than the majority, ruling.

A constitutional republic is a form of government where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf, EBSCO research says. It is defined by a supreme written constitution that constrains the government's power, protecting minority rights against the "tyranny of the majority". Leaders are bound to operate under the rule of law.

Democracy is a system of government where supreme power is vested in the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. Derived from the Greek d"mokratia ("rule by the people"), it is founded on principles of popular sovereignty, political equality, and the protection of individual rights and freedoms.

Boaz is an idiot

Boaz is too stupid to realize that the republican party is destroying the constitutional republic/democratic republic and/or democracy

Again boaz is an idiot

The founders didnt have a cap on the number of representatives in the House, that came along in 1929. The cap directly affects the Electoral College. Representation is now so uneven that EC is not doing its job. Fix the House and ban gerrymandering.

Well to be fair, he only has 3/5ths of a brain

Which must be exactly what he voted for.

The founders were smart enough to compromise in order to try and create a more perfect Union. It's just too bad we evolved into uncompromising idiots.

Southern states feared a direct popular vote, as a large portion of their population was enslaved and could not vote. By tying electoral votes to Congress's total representation (which included the "three-fifths compromise" that counted enslaved people), the system gave the South more power.

Since slavery and of course racism is declared OVER in America and the South definitely does not need more power (they obviously haven't used it very well) we dont need it anymore.

#6 Nope. America is a democratic republic.

And democracy isn't relegated to just "the local level," Major DEI Boazo.

"it's a representative republic. Not a democracy."

How is your local dog catcher chosen? (Local)

How are your mayor and county/parish executives chosen? (Local)

How are your state representatives/state senators chosen? (State)

How is your governor chosen? (State)

How is your US congressperson chosen? (Federal)

How is your US Senator chosen? (Federal)

Think...

How are all those people chosen (local, state and federal) ... if NOT through democratic means?
