Why do ONLY DEMOCRATS "FIND BALLOTS" Immediately After They Lose Elections?

That is a redundant paradox.

No, it's not, not matter how much that upsets you.
A Republic is constitutional rule.
A Democracy is mob rule.
Both forms of government can have democratically elected representatives.

There are no Democracies in existence today.

The USA is a Federated Republic. Republic because it is ruled by a Constitution and federated because there are several layers of republics (state and local governments).



This is all basic history...

The United States is a Representative Democracy no matter how loud you protest to the contrary. The constitution limits the power of government. We elect representatives, so it’s not a pure democracy. But we do elect them by majority rule so it is democratic. States use direct democracy all the time in ballot measures, electing the actual senators, etc...

The US is simply not purely a federal republic.

This is all basic civics.

Yes, it is a paradox. You are denying Logic.

No, it is not. It is not ruled by 51% of its citizens... It is ruled by a document called a Constitution, thus it is a Republic, NOT a Democracy. These definitions come from Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece...

Yes. It sets the rules of which we operate under...

Yes we do. That is called "democratically electing representatives". This can occur under BOTH Democracies AND Republics...

FederATED, NOT federal... Understanding your opponents argument goes a long way... ;)

And yes, the USA is a Federated Republic.

Of which you don't seem to have any understanding of, as evidenced above... You are also engaging in revisionist history...

Yawn. The USA simply isn't a purely a federal or federated republic, your quite laughable dishonesty aside, and have someone explain 'revisionist history' to you.

You clearly don't understand the term.

Argument by Repetition fallacy.

Newp. Since you're clearly and somewhat hilariously unacquainted with logic, why try and reference it?
Try non-fallacious and substantive reasoning next time...

LOL! Sorry you couldn't back up your asinine claim and were forced to retreat from it.

Still, it's fun to watch you pretend you actually won something.

Denying your logical fallacy doesn't make it go away...

I have backed it up, and I have retreated from nothing... no need to revise history... you can look at my prior post to you and actually address my arguments head on if you wish, or you can just continue playing this 'revisionist history' game instead... your call.

I have no need to pretend... My argument compared to your non-existent counterargument speaks for itself...

The only ones they find "immediately" after the election are the one's the republicans didn't hide that well.

The others, well, they take a little longer to find.

Asserting I've committed a fallacy won't magically make it so. Nice fail

No, you haven't back it up; you've only supported my assertion about the US being a democratic republic. You admitted that we elect our reps democratically, which means in accordance with the principles of democracy, and yet you scream, tiny white fists clenched white in fury, that we are only a republic and not a democracy. Not even a democratic republic. Even though you inadvertantly admitted that we are.

LOL! ^^^ What pwned looks like.

Nice joke.

How about the ones they counted but somehow lost? They would have to be in the building someplace, wouldnt they?

Maybe, you think they might be like guns that shoot people all by themselves? Maybe the ballots just got, you know bored, got up and walked out while nobody was looking?

Now thats funny. :lamo:lamo:lamo
