    You apparently understand nothing.

    “The United States is a federal republic and a constitutional representative democracy.”

    Do you understand without Democracy there wouldn't be an electoral college and trump wouldn't be President.

    Actually, the United States is a democratic republic. Republic means we the people have supreme power over our country. We the people appoint a president who is elected by the people's vote. It means that we are not a monarch govern by a King or a dictator. That is a democracy.

    Do you understand that the word is "republic," not "republican"? No, you don't. That's because you're ignorant, which is why you also don't know it's not merely a "republic" but a "democratic republic." Look it up. Know before speaking.

    Ignore WT Door, who had his share of trolling rubles from the GRU cut back this week. He's running out of piroshki and balalaikas, and he's hardly even trying any more.

    Being against the electoral college is being pro-democracy. Guess which one is liberals and which one is conservatives.

    Also, Orwell called himself a democratic socialist and said that "1984" was about right-wing authoritarianism.

    Obviously not. Under Obama that thought he should be a dictator and tell everyone how to live and what doctor they can use.

    Now they hate Trump because he wants to return Liberty to Responsible Citizens while reducing Government to lower levels of Elitist Domination.

    Dude did you just ask "Do Liberals Understand"?

    what were you thinking?

  • 2 years ago

    No. But we are a representative republic. A Republican is a member of a political party.

    Yes, I understand that this country is a republic (small r not Capital R). This country is not Republican, it is a republic (there is no Republic Party either), and I also understand that the Republican Party is in fact a fascist organization and one that is traitorous because it is colluding with Russia and Putin to steal elections in the USA.
