You're factually incorrect. The US is a representative democracy. It is explicitly democratic what you describe. What you mean to say is that it is not a direct democracy.
That are system practices disproportionate representation doesn't make our system more democratic than systems that practice proportionate democracy.
And none of this changes that Surt misrepresented what Joy Reid said because he paid attention to the headline of the article rather than it's content.
This kind of cherrypicking is why Surt continues:

Sarah Sanders has a hilarious reply to CNN skipping the White House Christmas party
LMAO!
"CNN announced that its employees will not be attending the annual White House Christmas party, and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is pleased.
Sanders retweeted an article with the announcement with the caption, “Christmas comes early! Finally, good news from @CNN.”
Oh CNN...stop trying to pretend like you are these ethical well meaning reporters.
These imbeciles want to ban the term fake news lol. There was an op ed on CNN about doing so. But wait...who created the term again? I love how they can't stand it being used against them.
Another Democrat used taxpayer money to quiet accuser claiming harassment
The side that is supposed to champion women sure as hell has a lot of sexual predators lol. They keep using tax dollars to pay off their victims.
We need a list of all the people(from both sides) who used the money of other people in order to pay off people they harassed. We also need a list of people who used money from the congressional slush fund to pay off people, because this guy used tax dollars from another place(a severance package)
Query, on a scale of 1 to 10, what are the chances that will happen anytime soon?
"Yes. The settlement was made in a form of a “severance package,†even though the woman had only worked with his office for a few months. This is a sign that he was using a method of settlement to keep the accusations quiet and out of the headlines."
He's a clever little predator, I'll give him that.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WE NEED TO LISTEN AND BELIEVE WHAMEN!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! **** REPUBLICANS!!!! ROY MOORE NEEDS TO GO!!!!!!

I just love how all this stuff is blowing up in the faces of the leftists. Their attitudes of immediately condemning republicans accused of sexual abuse hilariously handcuffed them when it came to their own people, and now we are seeing more than one article about "is this going too far?". They sure as hell didn't think it was going too far when it was Republicans.
Just like how CNN now wants to ban the term "fake news". The left created the term as a way to discredit negative stories about Hilary Clinton. Whoops, backfired lol.
Just like they celebrated when Trump first got the nomination because they thought it was a guaranteed win for them. Whoops, backfired lol.

Here's the lesson to be learned for the libtards:
Both Republicans and Dems are pieces of shit. They are both corrupt. And they are both generally bought and sold by business interests.
Originally posted by SurturShow me a single article from a reputable source that says “this is going too far”... This is a necessary purge, regardless of political affiliation. The difference is that leftists disavow sexual predators like Matt Lauer just recently, meanwhile Roy Moore is nonrepentent and still being embraced for some reason. I’m not saying all right wingers are embracing Roy Moore because many have spoken against him, but the fuxing President is still supporting that pedophile so

I love the little specification you put in there. Reputable sources, lol. Well then I can't show you a thing.
Left leaning sites like the Daily Beast and Salon sure as hell aren't reputable.
But the general gist of it is that they are claiming now that anyone can be accused and will automatically be guilty and is this going to go too far.

Hey, if this is the only way I can get you to admit you're peddling factually incorrect political science, so be it. 👆
You may not know it but there are lots of lurkers who do not post. Some of them may be misled by your false information because you try to speak with authority and that can sway those who genuinely ignorant and curious. If you want to speak with authority and actually be right, get on Adam-Poe's level.

But they can't accept that lesson lol. They literally can't. You have to remember that some of them still believe they have the moral high ground. I know, crazy right? Like those people who think the Earth is only 6,000 years old.
These people have nothing going for them if they can't act smugly superior to the other side.

Seems like an accurate assessment to me.
I'll post this and spam it over and over. I'm not a tin foil hatter. It's legit. If you're rich, congress represents your interests. If you're the other 90%, you're interests are not represented.
If the Democrats were "sooo good" or "sooo much better than the GOP" as libtards like to say, then that line would be much different for the 90%.
Originally posted by SurturOkay so no reputable left-leaning publication has said “this is going too far” or anything remotely close to that. So we both agree that you’re wrong again 👆
Lol but...you asked for "reputable" stuff. Even though I never said it was "reputable" places doing this, you added that specification. So cease.
Originally posted by dadudemonCorruption is about power, which means it doesn’t have a political leaning. The Democrats tend to support policies that benefit the 90% though, that’s the reason they’re preferred to the GOP.

The latest GOP tax plan is a perfect representation of the GOP
