@cjgrvster@ShaunsEyeView@GavinNewsom it’s the simplest definition i could give, also america dosent function solely based off of it but it hinges on it’s existence. there’s no way our predecessors would stand for a government without democratic processes considering our history.
@3_5_8_13_21_34@cjgrvster@ShaunsEyeView@GavinNewsom i understand but all i’m trying to say is we hinge on these democratic processes, both work in tangent with each other.
may i add, thank you for approaching this much more civil than everyone else it makes me hopeful that civil debate can still exist.
@3_5_8_13_21_34@cjgrvster@ShaunsEyeView@GavinNewsom if elections are democratic processes then how do we not elect by them?
may i add i also rescind my former statement that we’re a democratic republic, i was ignorant. though, we’re a lot more democratic than all of these replies make it out to be..
@cjgrvster@ShaunsEyeView@GavinNewsom so what do you call an election?
also i’ve a 98% in my us history class and formerly a 102% i think i know what im talking about
@ShaunsEyeView@GavinNewsom and how else would you know my gender on the internet?
beyond that, it’s really not that deep, plus the “pedophile” card has been used too much without genuine merit behind the absurd take.
@cjgrvster@ShaunsEyeView@GavinNewsom yet we still elect by democratic process do we not? despite the word not being used that does not take away from how the government actually functions today.
also, this is what is taught at schools (atleast at mine which was a right-leaning catholic school.)
