Trump made his image himself, it was him who decided to harass miniorities and brag about reading Mein Kampf often.

The absolute garbage that does be on the internet, honestly.

What is the case in favor of Joe Biden staying in the race/being the Democrat candidate?

that ignores the question

the Democrats would rather let the other banch of the uniparty win than support Palestine

You get me $10B annually or so, and then we can start to talk. Your single-fiber line and homelab will handle, what, 25 simultaneous users? Just have to scale that to a billion daily users or so, no bigger.

Big bias blind spot on this one.

“It’s crazy how other people are propagandised (not me). They should think for themselves (like me). They sit around waiting for propaganda (unlike me). Follow me on social media.”

America is and was founded as a representative democratic republic.

If that were true, it seems to me they would have put the word ‘democracy’ in the constitution or declaration of independence.

This one talks a lot about democracies and republics, and argues against deomcracies in favour of republics, e.g. " The error which limits republican government to a narrow district has been unfolded and refuted in preceding papers. I remark here only that it seems to owe its rise and prevalence chiefly to the confounding of a republic with a democracy, applying to the former reasonings drawn from the nature of the latter. The true distinction between these forms was also adverted to on a former occasion. It is, that in a democracy, the people meet and exercise the government in person; in a republic, they assemble and administer it by their representatives and agents. A democracy, consequently, will be confined to a small spot. A republic may be extended over a large region."

America was always an anti-democratic project. I think that’s a fair reading of the historical documents, as they’re fairly explicit about it. The alternative explanation is that it was supposed to be a democracy but somehow got perverted along the way by something, by parties (“faction”), by capital, or something else. But I think it’s simple and supportable to say it just never was one in the first place, by design.

PS: Easy to find that the word ‘democracy’ was used as a pejorative among the founders of the country:

“we beg Leave to answer, that though we are not so absurd as to “design a Democracy,” of which the Governor is pleased to accuse us”

“You would have torn up the Foundations and demolished the whole Fabrick of the Government, and have suffered Democracy, Aristocracy, Monarchy, Anarchy, any thing or nothing to have arisen in its Place.”

“Can a democratic assembly, who annually revolve in the mass of the people, be supposed steadily to pursue the public good? Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy. Their turbulent and uncontrouling disposition requires checks.”

me too

It says “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof”

There’s nothing in it comparable to “the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority”.

it also means any form of government where the ultimate power lies in the hands of the people.

I don’t see anything here that grants ultimate power to the people.
