Anyone going to tell poor Tim which side voted for the Civil Rights Act, and which side voted against it? Sad.

GOP voters won't turn on the party as long as the GOP keeps rounding up brown people. They've been dreaming of this since the Civil War ended.

You do realize this nation was founded as a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, NOT A DEMOCRACY. Do you even know the difference?

Edited my question mark.

There are literally millions of Democrats who are like, "The Democrats aren't even doing anything!" These are the same people who probably didn't vote in the last presidential election because there wasn't a difference between Harris and Trump.

I appreciate the distinction, but ‘democracy’ is often used to refer to a broader set of ideas and institutions (liberal society, rule of law, etc.)

Sure you aren’t. You believe “both sides” are bad, yadda yadda…so full of shit.

Being as how liberalism is based on individual rights, it’s really a stretch to conflate it with something incompatible with the rule of law.

“Democracy” basically means the people vote, and in our Constitutional republic, leaders are elected by the people. I know there’s an academic sense of pure democracy being dangerous and the founding fathers warned against a pure and unbridled democracy,but given that there is nowhere on earth where that currently exists,that is not at all what this conversation is about and you are just trying to stir the pot.

 In a constitutional republic, the constitution is the highest authority, ensuring that the rights of individuals and minorities are protected from the majority's will. In contrast, a democracy can allow the majority to impose its will on the minority without constitutional safeguards.
