um... can you identify what i was criticising for me?

"This is not true.  The US is a representative democracy. "

lol ok what is the purpose of the representatives?

"The two things aren't opposing ideas."

which i didn't say, but clearly there is a difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy

When reading the reporting on this lawsuit I couldn't help to think any Judge who happens to get this will be either beyond angry at the waste of the courts time about too busy laughing at such a pathetic attempt to utilize the court system for a PR stunt.

Does this imply that the only "correct" outcome in the democratic election was that Hillary won?

Cuz' thats the only thing I'm getting out of this.

"If people don't use their votes like we want them to, then its a threat to democracy"

If the only issue is that Russia pushed propaganda, then.. Well, everyone does that. Always.


And if they actually won, what would that mean? Would Trump be replaced by Hillary because he somehow won unfairly or whatever? Its all so dumb. Super dumb.

okay grab a chair, I'm about to hit you with some knowledge.

"The United States is a representative democracy. This means that our government is elected by citizens. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. These officials represent the citizens’ ideas and concerns in government. Voting is one way to participate in our democracy. Citizens can also contact their officials when they want to support or change a law. Voting in an election and contacting our elected officials are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy."

Republic: "A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them" - we are that. A common definition of "democracy" is, "Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives" - we are that, too.

This is retarded. The US is a federal republic which is a type of representative democracy. 

they already filed this suit.

A couple of their guys get indicted on criminal activities and they refile it...

pathetic.

trump is not a republican. He is a liberal, a classic liberal.

He was for gay marriage before it was cool (I have seen him in an interview say this as early as 2000 whereas Obama evolved to the position circa 2011)

He is not for small government.

He is for efficient government (which we are not). 

The reason he has no establishment support is because he is not one of them. The media ignored minor to major Obama scandals from 2008 to 2016. Now with trump they are literally creating scandals. 

Nothing Trump has done has lead me to believe he not doing what he thinks is in the countries best interest. You may disagree with his method, but his intention seems clear. 

He has lost a ton of personal wealth since coming into office. Which is the exact opposite of just about any other politician. He is making decisions that hurt him personally at this point. I have no choice but to believe he really is trying to best by the USA. 

I see, that's what I thought he meant.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm referring more to establishment republicans/neocons when I say "repubs are evil." I definitely have some overlap with Trump in that like him, I hate the political establishment, hate the mainstream media, political correctness, also opposed to NAFTA and TPP, pro American manufacturing, etc. But that's basically where the similarities end. Tough for me to get past his buffoonery and semi-authoritarian practices and ideals as someone who would considers myself libertarian liberal (see Noam Chomsky). But if it's between Trump and Hillary, I'd take Trump in a heartbeat, which is unfortunately what the DNC forced me to do by shutting out Bernie. While I don't 100% agree with Bernie's policies and ideals he was the closest candidate I supported who had a realistic chance of winning before being colluded against.

I don't know how much what Trump's doing is for the betterment of the US rather than his own ego and brand, though you can't argue with the results with some of the stuff I'm hearing regarding unemployment, GDP, etc..

That's the funny irony of this whole thing too - the DNC whining about "collusion" when if anything, THEY were the ones colluding in the 2016 election; against Bernie..
