They don't believe in democracy.
Which is why they're working so damn hard to make certain your vote isn't counted.
I didn't say it. THEY did. Over and over.
@Stonekettle , many MI far right R's don't seem to give a crap about the constitution, either, except the bits they twist; but, I imagine you're well aware, having been spending more time up here lately. 🫤

I often wonder if these folks know what they mean by "republic" vs. a "democracy", or, if like "Marxism", "Communism", and "radical" they're just using words they've heard without any idea what the actually mean.
Fine. I lied. I don't wonder at all. I'm pretty damned certain I know the answer.
They don't understand. Populism never goes deep enough.
"Madison made the distinction between a republic and a direct democracy exquisitely clear in “Federalist No. 14”: “In a democracy, the people meet and exercise the government in person; in a republic, they assemble and administer it by their representatives and agents. A democracy, consequently, will be confined to a small spot. A republic may be extended over a large region.”
@Stonekettle They want to limit or eliminate our vote yet they’re propping up the malfunctioning bodies of their elected officials to preserve the power of their own votes in the house and senate.
OK , the US is a constitutional republican democracy.
Feel better MAGAs?
You sure you can read that?
Should i spell it out?😂
@Stonekettle
They do love to say that over and over again. I thought it had to do with their love of the electoral college too.
@Stonekettle So tired of these idiots parroting this right wing talking point.
