    ITT, guy calls out how we’re all pretty well and truly fucked; everyone instead focuses on how he incorrectly uses the words “Republic” and “Democracy” together.

      Tbh I kinda get it because I have so often seen americans on reddit say that the US “is a republic, not a democracy” so I’m assuming they’re being bullshitted (bullshat? Idk that feels wrong) from somewhere and that seems worth correcting.

      On the other hand the OP didn’t even assert them to be opposed, just that people debate it, which is clearly true.

        People don’t debate it.

        It’s something the fascists are lying about to pretend we don’t need the democracy part, immediately suspect on usage. Best case, you’re just a fucking idiot.
