      Problem is, if the GOP retakes the senate, they’ll jam their own bills through their majority and it can’t be stopped or blocked.

      @@victorbergman9169 I have heard this argument so many times, and I cannot believe so many people have to be informed of this: Democracy and republic are NOT exclusive.
      • Republic is defined as a state in which power is held by the people and their elected representatives. Is the US a republic? ✅
      • Democracy is defined as a system of government by the people, typically through elected representatives. Is the US a democracy?
      Well, looking through the criteria put forward by Google searches:
      Do we have a system where we can choose and replace our government through elections? ✅
      Do people actively participate in politics and civic life? ✅
      Are our human rights protected? ✅
      Is the law applied fairly to everyone? ✅
      The answer to all of those is yes. Even though we see acts such as voter suppression and bribery taking place, that does not deter from the fact that our Constitution says that yes, we fulfill all of those criteria, and therefore, the U.S. IS a democracy AND a republic.
      So, please, before reposting this stupid argument over and over, look at the argument you are presenting and ask yourself if you have affirmed this yourself, or if you heard it from somewhere else and just blindly took their word for granted.
