@atrupar Joe Biden, Schrodinger's President: simultaneously the most inept president ever, and so proficient and effective that 22 months out he's still to blame.
@HQNewsNow@MaryPeltola He's lucky she didn't roll up with a three-ring binder. You know she's got one just for this debate, color coded tabs and everything.
@jer_z_man@mmpadellan Biden Biden Biden. Aight bud, arguing with a brick wall has made me hungry, I'm gonna go make dinner with some over priced groceries. You enjoy those investments, I'm sure the checks he promised are in the mail.
@jer_z_man@mmpadellan That's the only way citizens directly use democracy, but the people in government vote democraticly quite a lot. In both chambers of Congress and on boards or committees, even courts. Democraticly electected representatives representing democraticly = Democratic Republic.
@jer_z_man@mmpadellan You're damn right. Patriots can and should criticize their government. Nationalists can't and won't offend their ruler. Dude, housing got ridiculous way before Biden. What's Trump done for housing? You think a Real Estate mogal is going to help lower Real Estate prices?
@jer_z_man@mmpadellan Cool! You agree, we're a Democratic Republic. But let's run with this pure democracy thing. Why would Democrats push for a system that doesn't have representatives when they are representatives? You think Congressional Democrats are trying to just cede Congress all together?
@jer_z_man@mmpadellan Just like nationalism tend to lead to fascism. But guess what? There are more choices than those! Like, I dunno, maybe a Democratic Republic? One based on a capitalist economy but also provides social/public programs. That sounds nice.
@jer_z_man@mmpadellan I think you're confusing socialism with communism. Yes people escaped communism when they fled eastern Germany and North Korea but I don't recall hearing about people fleeing socialist scandanavia recently. Do you use public roads or rely on either the police or fire department?
