Good thing you've been wasting all your time complaining about the evil white man.

People are evil in general, get the fuck over it.

Watching people take such dedicated sides in politics makes me laugh. Your all morons that don't even deserve the freedom that America has provided for you.

Hillary Clinton is a lying psychopath that would change nothing.

Trump is a psychopath that is crazy enough to at least throw a wrench in the fine tuned machine because his ego has more value than anything , as a consequence change would happen. Good or bad, no one knows.

Bernie Sanders is a retard that would just press the print more money button, until the whole system falls apart. Might end the suffering sooner , the world would end as soon as people realize US dollars have no value.

There is no going back to the "barter system" or anarchy or whatever other stupid hipster ideas are cool this week.

Hope this helps

Hello, I love u Pgerman. Ur absolutely right.

Who's to say what timeline that will be though? Humanity is in what, it's 3rd age or Kaliuga? Transitioning to the 4th? Dieing before rebirth as something entirely new?

IDK.

But I am tempted to press button 1 or 3 because (A, I like the status quo, we are human douchebags) and (C Who knows, maybe we'll get some money and a rat park for a small human timescale before things really blow up, maybe the chillfactor will allow some not so psychotic humans to come up with a better plan.. granted our founding fathers were prob human, but I'm happy they made the effort.)

Either way the options are out of my control. I can really only voice which one I would like, because hey, I'm just a plebenite.

Also, my moral and own ethical standards says we should gut that arrogant, egotistical, selfish, exploitative, lying, downright self serving mysogonistic pig on a roast [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[maskedmelon]

Truly shameful. Yet another example of racist white fascists subverting the noble ambitions of city councils. First Baltimore, then Flint and now this? Honestly how does this keep happening?

Those two don't exclude each other.

One category descibes the head of state. It's an elected president in a republic and a king or queen in a monarchy, it may be a doge, Führer, what ever you name it. As you correctly said the head of the US is an elected person. Therefore the US is a republic.

The other category is how government comes to power. It gets elected in a democracy, clings to power by supression in a dictatorship, is vested in the government by birth in a feudal system etc. Now with all it's known faults the government of the US is (still) elected by the people. Thereore the US is a democracy as well as a republic.

The UK is a good example for a monarchy being a democracy whereas Nazi Germany and Sovjet Russia are good examples for dictatorships being republics.

I hope this helps.

It's amazing how ignorant this community is about Bernie Sanders

Cringing hard at the type that play free games online

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch" -B. Franklin

The best way I've ever heard it said was "the US is a Republic that functions with a Democracy". But then that is not fully accurate.

But best put, it simply a Constitutional Republic.

Some deep reading for my conservative friends here. Lefty libs please ignore for sake of your bliss.

[Daywolf]

Oh btw in that constitutional republic link I provided there was a reference link at the bottom of the page to a speech entitled: Ron Paul - Sorry Mr. Franklin, "We're All Democrats Now" that pointed to house dot gov. It was obviously taken down from that site (a surprise?) but an excellent 1hr speech still found here or at least the first part which is in unison of what I was mentioning here regarding the constitutional republic.

What we may actually have now? A democratic welfare state. An inevitable failure, and a bunch of well fed wolves (bad wolves :P ).

[Kyff]

I gave definitions. You gave anecdotes, quotes and links.

I can do the same:

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others"
Winston Churchill

Democracy, or democratic government, is "a system of government in which all the people of a state or polity are involved in making decisions about its affairs, typically by voting to elect representatives to a parliament or similar assembly,"

Democracy is further defined as (a[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "government by the people; especially : rule of the majority (b[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] " a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy

Now I would argue that in the US the people do elect representatives to a parliament and there are periodically held free elections. It's not democracies fault that the American people for tend to vote for persons who are financed by the top quantile or members of said quantile.

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

WTF are you on about? The U.S. was founded as a constitutional republic, period.

[iruinedyourday]

I wouldn't argue about history here fellas theres no point in arguing about history when nobody here has read a book.
