This is a pyramid scheme, not Ponzi or something like that.

This is conservative propaganda, which sadly has become far-right democracy busting authoritarian Christian Nationalist theocracy (fascism).

This frame is even more interesting, it's actually an exact replica from the animated film of 1978!

Wow, loved your video!

Supposed to be the best smartest, ethical, moral, upright men and women of society representing the majority of society” Lmao. MAGA congressmen and women, I’m looking at you. 👀

how did discord take off?

Wow, it is really impressive how they tried so hard with movies even back then

Constitutional Republic. THAT is what The United States of America is.

What a load of horsehockey is that video! Democracy comes in many forms, including our representational form, correctly refered to as a constitutional republic, a representative democracy, a democratic republic, or as Lincoln (who, referring to our government, expressly equated democracy and constitutional republic) called it in his Gettysburd address, a "... government of the people, by the people, for the people ...". (See below). What zippidy-do-da described in the video is a direct or pure democracy, where everyone votes on everything, a form that would be be catastrophically inefficient. On Independence Day, 1861, nearly 3 months into the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln gave a message to Congress, wherein he said: “[Referring to the Civil War] It presents to the whole family of man the question whether a constitutional republic, or democracy--a government of the people by the same people--can or can not maintain its territorial integrity against its own domestic foes." There it is, no less than our greatest President, who knew the Constitution far better than 100 of you and me, and far better than anyone on our national scene today, equating democracy and constitutional republic. And rightly he did, as democracy, according to our government today, means "a form of government in which the supreme power [sovereignty] is retained by the people, but which is usually exercised indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority periodically renewed." Interesting how that definition perfectly describes our form of government. Again, take it from Lincoln, who described our form of government more ably and memorably than anyone in our history, when he concluded his Gettysburg Address with his words, “... that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." What Lincoln there described is democracy, the form of government where the people are the supreme authority, the sovereign. From its beginning, “[W]e the people …,” through its end, our Constitution makes manifest that we, the people, are sovereign. It follows naturally that the word “democracy” derives from the Greek word “demos,” meaning “people.”

Is the United States a democracy? Yes, the United States is a democracy, since we, the people, hold the ultimate political power. We’re not a “direct democracy,” but we are a “representative democracy.” This is where our history education might add some confusion. We are commonly taught that democracy is a product of ancient Greece. It’s their word - demokratia - after all. The city-state of Athens is credited with implementing a system of government of and by the people, whereby eligible citizens would congregate to make decisions. They’d make these decisions themselves (or “directly”), not through any elected representatives. That system of government, better understood today as direct democracy, lives on in the United States in the form of ballot initiatives and referenda. Some states and localities afford their citizens the right to use these measures to directly enact, change, or repeal laws themselves. More commonly, we exercise our political power in a different way: by voting in elections to choose our representatives. That’s representative democracy. The Constitution does not use the term “democracy.” It’s true. But as Eugene Volokh notes in the Washington Post, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Noah Webster, Justice James Wilson and Chief Justice John Marshall all used the word. These scholars understood representative democracy - the American variety - to be democracy all the same. Is the United States a republic? Yes. The United States is a republic because our elected representatives exercise political power. History also tells us that Rome was a republic, unlike Athens. When its monarchy was overthrown, Rome developed a republican system of government whereby citizens elected officials who were empowered to make decisions for the public. That’s the core of how our government works. While “democracy” and “republic” have been historically pitted against one another, the reality is that the two terms enjoy considerable overlap. So, which term should I use? It’s really up to you. In practice, the word “republic” has the same meaning as the term “representative democracy.” And a representative democracy is a form of democracy in the same way that a Granny Smith apple is a form of apple. We wouldn’t say it’s inaccurate to use “apple” to describe a Granny Smith apple, so it’s OK to follow in the footsteps of Jefferson, Adams, Webster, and Chief Justice Marshall and simply call our “representative democracy” a “democracy.” But it’s also accurate to call the United States a “republic.” It’s mostly about your preference of words. Hopefully, this post will help lower the heat in the online debate. Let’s put our energy toward working to fix our government so it represents the people! What type of government is the US, exactly? To be very specific, the United States could be defined as a “federal constitutional representative democracy.” You might also call it a “federal constitutional republic.” Let’s break those terms down. Constitutional: Our system of government is considered constitutional, because the power exercised by the people and their representatives is bound by the constitution and the broader rule of law. Federal: Our government is also a federal system, since power is shared between a national government, representing the entire populace, and regional and local governments. These two terms can come in handy when you want to get really exact with your description. It’s accurate to call our government a “federal constitutional republic” or a “federal constitutional democracy,” but it’s probably overkill to be that specific. These terms just help us further define our governmental structure, especially when comparing the United States to other countries. Bonus: Is the United States still a democracy/republic? In the literal sense of the word, yes. In practice, the answer is more complicated. In 2016, The Economist Intelligence Unit downgraded the United States from a “full democracy” to a “flawed democracy” in its Democracy Report, an annual study of the “state of democracy” around the world. There were a number of reasons the nation’s rating fell, but one of the most important was the American public’s declining trust in government. Our system of government depends on citizens being able to freely elect leaders who will represent their interests. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. In a study published 2014, two political scientists found that, on average, the policies representatives pursue are not in fact dictated by public opinion. This is the mark of a flawed democracy/republic: election without true representation. In 2021, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) classified the United States as a "backsliding democracy" for the first time. So, is the United States a democracy or a republic? The United States is both a democracy and a republic.

Such a positive content, make my day

How would I go about making a contract with deez?

what about payment process. Upfront vs after completion ?

I feel like executive orders just kind of bypass a lot of this system though? We have a similar thing here in Canada called an OIC. Or you can always manufacture an emergency and take emergency power/martial law. It seems the president has a lot more power than they let on in this video.

Boo, thanks for nothing

White bread is a processed food with low-quality carbs. Plus, it can contain added sugar. So, eating white bread can cause large blood sugar spikes, which aren't good for your health.

I lost $75k to a Ponzi scheme some months back. I was devasted until I met someone who made me realize it was possible to recover. It took about a week but I was able to recover my funds in full. Thanks BRISKRECOVERY ❤

I feel like this is a google ad but it is 14 years old

Oh boy. Not another one of these videos. You all should think who and why someone want to spread the notion that U.S is not a democracy. Being Republic does not mean you can also be democracy. Also the definition of democracy is another today than 2000 years ago. And even than it was 1776. Please educate yourself on this topic elsewhere than from republican right wing populist etc influencers on KZfaq.

Huh

Thank you Epipheo for posting such informative video.❤❤❤
