TRUMP SUPPORTERS CLAIM AMERICA IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. CNN This Morning: Kasie Hunt & Michael Smerconish 

The Constitution establishes a federal democratic republic form of government. That is, we have an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. It is a democracy because people govern themselves. It is representative because people choose elected officials by free and secret ballot.

Apparently not at your high school either🤡

Founders ALSO allowed only WHITE MEN owning property to vote. Founders ALSO put a clause in the Constitutional Republic's documents called "Amendments", of which eventually allowed ALL citizens to vote..."We the people, in order to form a MORE PERFECT Union..."

@@carolnichols5886 And that is relevant exactly how.....?

@@Mustapha1963 it’s relevant to the point that the founders could not anticipate societal changes 200 years down the road. It’s like you think separate but equal is something good.

@@robtgoldstein Quite the stretch to go from my correct contention that we are not a "democracy" to your thinking I support Separate But Equal. I can certainly see why you'd attempt deflection, as you know I'm correct.

@@Mustapha1963 I was responding to your reliance on what “the founders” concept was. As pointed out by someone else, the founders also thought only white property owners should have the right to vote.

Not difficult to find a middle-aged Democrat; impossible to find a moderate one.

@@Mustapha1963 your claims continue to be ridiculously false. I am moderate as are about 20 of my friends.

@@robtgoldstein You think you are moderate thanks to the Overton window. I guarentee you are a typcial leftie nut.

@@robtgoldstein So tell me of these 'moderate' views you hold and how you can reconcile them with the prevailing extremism of the Democrat Party.

@@Mustapha1963 I don’t accept your premise, especially in view that the Republican Party has been taking over by actual far right MAGA extremists. They have all of the power today and control what positions they are taling on legislation, etc. There are far left extremists that call themselves Democrats, people like Rashida Tlaib, but they have no power in setting the agenda for the Democrats. Your view is a fantasy. Whatever you project on the Democrats is actually what the Republicans are doing. Let me ask you: is Joe Biden the legitimate President at present and did he win the 2020 election?

who told you that you have a mind....😂🤣

@@carolnichols5886 Someone who amounts to something. You certainly don’t.

Well that's just stupid.

You mean like putting your political opponent in jail? Those "democratic principles"?

@@Mustapha1963 yes, which is what Trump has threatened to do. The b.s. that the DOJ is weaponized against Republicans is belied by the prosecutions of Menendez, Cuellar and Hunter Biden.

We are a Constitutional Republic... Democracy= majority rule Republic= individual rights

@@joshuaduncan8083 Exactly. Progressives are either too ignorant to know the difference or to arrogant to admit the difference. I'm not sure which one is worse.

@@Mustapha1963 as Trump vows revenge?
