    Each state is a democracy, but the nation as a whole could not run as a democracy.

    The poll results don't mean dick.
    "Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."

    Direct democracy could only be tyrannical on a national level.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Idk about eliminated but a good look at how it is operating wouldn't be a bad idea.
    People who think a movie about plastic dolls is trying to turn their kids gay or trans are now officially known as
