The founders understood that folks like you had the potential to destroy the fragile nation with pure democracy. Its why they built in safeguards to protect it.

He's trying to make the point that a democracy and republic are the same things. But they aren't.

Well, what I'm seeing is a confusion of terminology, some of which might be time related. Are we all using these terms in the same way? I suspect not.

And I think I understand CQ's comment now. A republican form of government is a derivative form of a general democracy, as a generality of definition. But certainly not the other way around. But an particular implementation of republicanism could be closer or further from a classic definition of a democracy.

The biggest issue I've ever had with fruitful and open discussions is making sure whatever words we use to defend our positions are being used equitably, that they mean the same thing to both sides of the argument. Otherwise, it's really just a rant and not a real discussion.

CQ fucks sheep. The person he has to take car of them is German. A German Shepard if you will. This person is a "dog". Not a canine.

To be fair: there is a world of difference between a short term cash handout during a National Emergency where swaths of people are literally not allowed to go to work, and just whipping out the good ole government tit every month for all Americans to suckle and become dependent on.
