We dont directly vote for electors

We all know that. Thanks for pointing out that we vote directly for the candidate.
PS: there is no electoral college in other elections. You seem rather fixated on the POTUS which is one off many many many many elected officials in the USA.

Now, professor.
You say the USA isn't a democracy even though a democracy and a republic are not mutually exclusive (thanks for finally admitting that),
so describe to us (again since in your view we are not a Democratic Republic, a Representative Democracy, although no self respecting historian/political scientist says otherwise) what an actual democracy that is a republic look like, and tell us if there is one anywhere in the world. In other words, is the very idea of a democratic republic (again in your lone view) only a hypothetical form of government?
Oh, and did you know that Fruits country is the highest ranked Democracy in the world while the US has slipped to 36th under Trump?

Yes, according to major global democracy indices and research organizations like the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute and The Economist Intelligence Unit, the United States was generally ranked higher worldwide as a democracy before Donald Trump first took office in 2017. [

Key Findings from Democracy Indices

• • V-Dem Institute: Sweden’s Varieties of Democracy Institute classified the U.S. as a robust "liberal democracy" prior to 2017. During Trump's initial term and subsequent years, the U.S. dropped in their rankings (falling from the top 20 into the 30s and lower), with reports noting a steady erosion of democratic institutional norms, checks and balances, and trust in elections.

Here is Article IV of the United States constitution that guarantees each state in the union a Republican form of government

Something about a constitutional republic and all.

So while H struggles here by desperately taking every similarity of a democracy and trying to force this idea that makes the US a democracy, rather than investing the time into learning what a republic even IS, we are still a constitutional republic. Having democratic processes like voting doesnt change that. At all.

 

[Holliday 3000]

The United States is NOT a democracy.

It's a democratic republic which is a form of democracy, ya dingbat.

Now you can go on believing you know and understand what no educated person does, but you have been shown conclusively that the USA is indeed a democracy in the form Democratic Republic. Fact - the end.
Quit wasting people's time with your stupidity.

Yes, a democratic republic is a form of

Understanding the Terms

• • Democracy: A system of government where power comes from the people. It includes both direct systems and representative systems.
  • Republic: A system of government where the people hold power and elect representatives to make laws, and there is no monarch.
  • Democratic Republic: A combination of both concepts. It is democratic because the people choose their leaders through voting, and it is a republic because power is exercised through those elected officials rather than a king or direct public votes on every law. [

Why the Distinction Matters

• 
  
• • Some people say a country like the United States is "a republic, not a democracy" to highlight that it is not a direct democracy where every citizen votes on every law.
  • Political scientists explain that this is a false choice. A democratic republic is a specific type of representative democracy. [

  and to THE REPUBLIC for which it stands

  Hey stupid, being a Republic does in no way exclude being a democracy (as the USA is)....remember, you admitted that.
• Neither does having a constitution. LoLz.
• 
  
• Oh and again what would constitute a democracy that is also republic, professor Duhv?

 

[Holliday 3000]

Again, stupid, your totally ENVY-based little girl moan is that giving the exact same deduction to ALL SS recipients is somehow evil and bad, but you refuse to explain why because that will reveal your envy and jealousy of anyone who has more coins in their pockets than you. Good little Leftist Drone boy. Go get your pat on the head from your Betters.

Reggie, wealthy people don't even pay SS tax on all of their earnings (you know, the cap).
...and explain to us again why W. Buffet notes that he pays a lower percent in taxes than his secretary.
Is it because he/she's a higher earner?
..but the point raised was that when higher earners get a tax break that includes paying fewer dollars into the SS fund (which according to you doesn't exist) which will not cause the non-existent fund to become insolvent, it will hasten the process of becoming insolvent.

 

[Holliday 3000]

a Republican form of government

...and are you now saying that to be a Republic excludes democracy? Which everyone, even you knows it does not.

Okay, everybody...
what in the tiny damaged pea brain of people like Duhv this is all about is this.
We are Republicans therefor Republic good.
They are Democrats, therefor democracy bad.

Yep it's that simple minded.

..but what it's really about is something far more sinister. These little pea brained MAGA are being trained to accept Oligarchy/dicktatership/monarchy by having the idea planted in their wee heads that the USA isn't, and never was a democracy, which everyone without hollow head syndrome knows is complete bullshit.

This is the purpose of casting doubt on election security etc. (the integrity of all democratic institutions)
These MAGA lemmings are being run straight off a cliff to drown in their own ignorance.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Reggie, wealthy people don't even pay SS tax on all of their earnings (you know, the cap).
...and explain to us again why W. Buffet notes that he pays a lower percent in taxes than his secretary.

Then he pays his secretary quite well to be in a higher tax bracket that what he pays on Capital Gains.

Are you envious of that too?

So you think "higher earners" should have more money stolen from them in taxes because you're envious and jealous that they earn more than you do. I see.

 

[Holliday 3000]

Are you envious of that too?

I'm envious of no one.
Not my philosophy.

I hear that envy is the number 1 for people generally. (obviously it is for you which accounts for your fixation in the absence of evidence)
..but I have other buggaboos.
...and what are they? None of your business, bozo boi.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I'm envious of no one.
Not my philosophy.

Clearly you are. You demand, as your Betters tell you, that seniors on SS should "pay more" if they "make too much money."

This is a political position that is based upon ENVY and nothing more.

You probably think "progressive taxation," another Leftist Filth Policy based completely on ENVY, is a cool and good thing. A Policy that punishes success and rewards failure always appeals to the envious and stupid who comprise so much of the Leftist base.

What seems to be the problem with the thread? You don't think my title is uplifting and politically correct?

No problem. I understand why you put the a title like that, I think.

Just because the male dominated forums is the only way some of you toothless mongs can exercise your male superman fantasies, does not mean others subscribe to that train of thought.

Hi

 

[Holliday 3000]

So you think "higher earners" should have more money

So once again you are wrong...as you always are. The wealthy do pay a lower percent in taxes against earnings.
Are you wealthy, Reggie? Why do you always defend the uber-wealthy who are the real thieves in our society - Modern day Robber Barons.

Yes, the ultra-wealthy often pay a lower effective tax rate than middle-class or working families[

Why the Ultra-Rich Pay Lower Rates

• • Income Type: Ordinary workers earn wages, which are fully taxed. The ultra-wealthy make money from capital gains (stocks, investments, dividends) which are taxed at much lower rates than wages. [

  • Borrowing Against Assets: Instead of selling stock to get cash, the wealthy take low-interest bank loans using their massive stock portfolios as collateral. Loans are not legally considered income, so they remain untaxed. [

  • Tax Code Loopholes: Studies highlighted by

What happened to the trickle-down economy?

For branding purposes they had to rename the 'siphon-up' economy because nobody would get behind that. Now the name "trickle-down" has just kind of stuck even though many (possibly most) people have realized the truth behind that bit of creative/deceptive labeling.

Short answer: it never actually existed.

That's what happens when we let a corrupt duopoly of psychopaths and thieves sell our country to the highest bidder for decades while telling us that to fix the things they've broken (on purpose) we need to accept ever more austerity and increasingly less freedom.

Unless we start refusing to accept the unacceptable the only path is for it all to burn down and maybe ...maybe... we can build something worth having in its place.
