“It’s a republic … “It’s a republic because you do not directly vote for the president.” – A republic is simply a state of laws where citizens choose their leaders and have a role in its governance.
“You vote for representatives in the electoral college, who then vote for the president” – representative democracy.
It was a fantastic … It was a fantastic statement.
One, as he said it was a ‘fuck you’ vote. It shows on paper how disliked the Freylinghuysen is, and therefore…
Two, it showed that he needed opposition, if a tree can bring in more votes, then anyone should be able to run against him.
And finally three, exposing the USA as a tainted democracy. Refusing to count and announce (even if they are meaningless) votes for a party because the current party in power is losing, teeters the USA closer to a dictatorship.
That’s just the … That’s just the thing, America is not a pure democracy. It’s a republic because you do not directly vote for the president. You vote for representatives in the electoral college, who then vote for the president. This just falls under the broader new definition of modern democracy.
Yeah – Michael … Yeah – Michael Moore is SUCH a dumbass – even though he is a courageous hero. He preaches in 2000 how Demopubs=Republicrats. Then, in every year each election since he turns around and supports Dems and has the nerve to tell Ralph Nader, who should be president for life, not to run for president in 2004 and 2008.
