Russia went after both sides though... Remember the whole pissing on the bed incident? That a million page dossier?

This is embarrassing. So they are basically suing because they couldn't get away with their scheme to get Hillary elected..

Their "scheme." Care to elaborate on what scheme, exactly?

Lol they just shot themselves in the foot.



Here I thought the DNC wouldn't sink any lower, just accept that Hillary lost because she was a shitty candidate.



Proud to be a Californian.

Watch out another shitty candidate like Elizabeth Warren or Cory Booker get stomped again in 2020 and the blame fall on the Russians yet again.

Here's a tip for the Dems and other clueless activists and politicians in Europe, who have brought to life this extremely bizarre left-leaning McCarthism: not every political and societal upheaval or shift comes from the Russians. Surprise, surprise, these things do can and often do happen, on their own.

well show me where democracy is in the constitution and no the founding fathers explicitly set up the constitution to ensure that mob rule could not become a thing

because they understood that the majority of the nation could become morons stupid enough to give their fundamental rights away for security

I just told you it has democratic ideals and techniques. It doesn't specifically say it, but I can explain how it works. again..

the point i'm making is that you're wrong... that's why there is, for example, an electoral college

"in the Trump campaign to attack American democracy"

but america is a constitutional republic... what the fuck?

jumping the gun a little early socialists

It is also a democracy by definition of it's word. A republic just means that it's not reigned by a monarch in a monarchy. Which means countries like Nazi Germany, the USSR or North Korea all fall under the republic category. A democracy means that at least part of the power is in the civilian's hands, in contrast to a dictatorship where the leader/s of the country has all the powers for him/her/themselves.

Oh, and it is a constitutional republic... just because it has a constitution. Nowadays every country has one, but at the creation of the Unites States, they where among the first to do so. Hence why in those days being a constitutional republic was a big thing, but nowadays that applies for roughly 70% of all the nations in the world.

Edit: damn, ninja'ed

It’s actually sad it even has to come to this. If the American people would have any balls and self respect left they’d have long demanded resignation.

The whole world laughs at you and you’re too busy and distracted fighting yourself.

"A democracy means that at least part of the power is in the civilian's hands, in contrast to a dictatorship where the leader/s of the country has all the powers for him/her/themselves."

dictatorships have routinely been born out of democracies... can you guess why?

 

"It is also a democracy by definition of it's word."

its actually not... its the representatives that make the decisions not the majority of people


"A republic just means that it's not reigned by a monarch in a monarchy."

so according to you there is no difference between a democracy and a republic?

because i could also make the argument that a democracy is not ruled by a monarch either

why are you playing this semantic game?

 

"A democracy means that at least part of the power is in the civilian's hands"

no, a democracy is a form of government where the general public make the decisions by majority vote

which means that if america was a democracy the citizens could choose to vote away their rights such as those of gun ownershipp

however, the constitution and having representatives make decisions influenced by that constitution prevents this from happening 

it was done as i said previously to prevent the citizens of the country from voting away essential rights in the event that they for whatever reason whether it be manipulation or stupidity choose to do so

 

but don't worry those in power are working very hard to have this all pulled back so there will be a democracy and they are putting the intellectual framework in place to have rights voted away when that happens and then if you are alive you'll get to see what true democracy is really about
