Any donks who voted for Biden during the donk primaries, and then a few months later were saying he should drop out of the 2024 campaign, are an Ultra Hypocrites.
Yes, they don't even understand what democracy is. No that it matters because we are a republic. But they don't know that.

Biden is going to be really really pissed off when he finds out he stepped down.
Are you sure you know what democracy is? How many are there in the world?

I like “constitutionally limited democratic republic.

This is a good explanation to help you with the definition.
Because democracy is an abstract name for a system and republic is the more concrete result of that system, democracy is frequently used when the emphasis is on the system itself. We could say that democracy is to republic as monarchy is to kingdom.

These terms are not mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, a document that nevertheless expresses clearly that governments should be established “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” This reads like a definition of both democracy and republic. In Article IV Section IV of the Constitution, the term republican is used as an adjective: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”


In the final analysis, what these words share in meaning is much more important than how they differ

Yes its pretty simple.

In a democracy the majority rules. (popular vote)

A republic has representatives chosen by the people and they must comply with a constitution that protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

You're going to argue that your oversimplification is more accurate than Merriam Webster's definition? :dunce:

Really. :suspicious: Biden cleary had dementia a few months ago, as he does now.
I was concerned but very few knew the extent including you. Why is it hypocritical to be on board with an upgrade?

I’d still vote for Biden today or even zombie Ronald Reagan over Trump today.
Wrong. Anyone with half a brain could tell he was out to lunch for the last couple of years..Heck, I’ve posted like 100 clips over the last 3-4 years illustrating that.

If you voted for him last winter/spring, then called for him to step down this spring/summer, you’re a hypocrite. There were other candidates.

Is out to lunch a medical diagnosis?

I’ve admitted going back quite some time that he was showing senility, that he was in decline, maybe losing a step.

Can you admit similar about Trump? There are hundreds of videos showing his low IQ, aphasia, etc. is this going to get better over the next 4 years?

How about narcissistic personality disorder?

If you support a candidate who refused to take part in his party’s debates and are hysterical over biden stepping down being the undemocratic you’re a hypocrite.

“Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding. This way of thinking and behaving surfaces in every area of the narcissist’s life: from work and friendships to family and love relationships.”

Who’s hysterical about Biden being removed? I think its hilarious that the democrat elites didn’t remove Biden from running by the end of last year. Then that would have resulted in an open primary, which Harris would have no chance in, candidate who could, or would beat Trump. Now they’ve hitched their wagons to the no talent, DEI pick Harris, who Trump will beat as bad, if not worse, than he would have Biden. :nod:
