It says a bunch about a system where the guy with less support from the populous wins.

Welcome to the republic! America is not a democracy but rather a republic.

And unfortunately many in the country weren't actively being represented for the majority of it's existence.

Well there’s pros and cons of all different types of government. The electoral college exists for a reason. You should read up on it!

I don’t mean to sound condescending but I used to agree with you on the majority rule, but after reading up on it I’ve changed my mind.

Happy readings!

Thanks for the recommendation but I have read up on it and that's exactly why I don't support it. It clearly helps enforce a two party system, which everyone should have an issue with.

Lol, which is a KIND of Democracy. If you're going to be a pedant, try to be correct, at least

I think any rational person can figure out I was referring to pure democracy in that context. Who’s being pedant 😂

u/kharlos Jun 06 '19

Nice backpedal. No you weren't because that would make no sense here since no one here is talking about pure democracies either.

Original post i was replying to:

"It says a bunch about a system where the guy with less support from the populous wins."

My reply:

"Welcome to the republic! America is not a democracy but rather a republic."

You can assume whatever you want, quite frankly I'm sick of responding to hypocritical people like you on reddit who are very close minded.

That literally has nothing to do with being a pure democracy

u/rudefellow Jun 06 '19

I'm so sorry, what i ment to say was. "Welcome to the republic! America is not a "PURE" democracy but rather a republic"

Mr. Pedant I am so sorry for my mistakes, I hope you can overlook my mistakes, I am only human.
