The US is the furthest thing from being a Democracy.  

Huh?  Seems like ive seen that in movie or something and it was like they were God, or Satan, or a prophet leader type.  Maybe Trumpet fits those credentials and that is why most of the republicans cow-towing to nutzoid Trumpet.

Was there a vote on that thar constitutional republic?  Was it a majority vote? 

i am all things to all people also sounds like the USA as the breadbasket of the world, ---8 billion  of us now--  except, the republicans a little short on bread { not money } and/or empathy for immigrants and any who have not made the financial grade to self autonomy of owning their own company and attempting to be richest person in the world, etc.

Face palm, shakes head.  Poster attempts to combine to completely different thoughts as though they are related. 

Democratic mob rule most certainly does not create policy in the USA.

Policy is made by a select few oligarchs in DC

Fuck the people.

ya, I said the same thing  a while back in this thread. The US is a Banana Republic. It is neither a Democratic Republic nor a Constitutional Republic. At this point it is arguing pointless definitions because it is neither. The US is now a  Oligarchy or a Banana Republic pretty much the same thing contextually.  Elections are just dog and pony shows for the masses to make them think they live in a Constitutional Republic and that the Constitution still has meaning. 

Any time you hear "threat to Democracy" in mockingbird media propaganda, it really means a "threat to the Oligarchs"

Agreed

Gas is almost 3 dollars in Texas. An absolute monstrosity. But if we’re Jay Powell, it’s only “temporary.” 

Meanwhile all the change that comes to my gas station from the bank is newly minted in 2021. 

I have a huge chunk of funds free for when the stock market crashes in a few months.

Excellent question.  There was a point in time where the answer was clear.  Now, they say one thing and do another. 

Democrats do not have a single constituency.  Instead they have a combination of constituencies with mutually exclusive interests which they manage to unite only in opposition to a shared common "enemy," hence their strategy to blame Trump for everything wrong that ever was, is or will be --- regardless of whether they themselves were the cause.

Consider immigration, for example.  Here, the Democrats hold themselves out as representing --- at the same time --- three different groups with three different sets of mutually exclusive interests: left-wing corporate interests like Amazon, the "working man" and "undocumented workers."  

Recall what happened in Bessemer City, Alabama.  There, workers tried to unionize.  The reason workers tried to unionize was because of declining wages, among other grievances, which have brought about their standard of living's decline.  Part of the reason wages continue to decline is because of immigration laws like those lobbied for by Amazon, which all but ensure that American wages will remain in competition with those from undocumented workers.  

Undocumented workers can only work for companies like Amazon via so called "staffing agencies," who absorb the risk of non-compliance with federal labor laws.  In the unlikely event that ICE or the FBI do anything about it, the "staffing company" is dissolved and Amazon's lawyers pretend to be ignorant.  After all, the undocumented workers were  only independent contractors hired by the "staffing company."  

To keep their bids low, "staffing companies" often exist in tripartite.  Such that a single undocumented worker can work two or even three jobs for the same Amazon facility but for as many different staffing companies.  Why does this matter?  Three twenty-hour-per-week jobs pay no benefits.  One sixty-hour-per-week does.  Shift one may be for "El Shithole, LLC."  Shift two may be for "Slave-driving Coyote, LLC."  Shift three may be for "Permanently Temporary, LLC."  For the "worker's convenience" their three "employers" may even have a fourth company "Steal Your Paycheck, Inc." to "process" their wages, federal tax withholdings (that are never returned) and the like for a small fee of 30% of all wages earned.  

Why play this shell game?  It makes the holding company that owns all four of these companies able to make a bid that keep illegal immigrant labor well under the market rate.  But Amazon can pay the holding company $15.00/hr and say "behold our corporate virtue." 

How can such a spectacular fraud go on, you might wonder?  Simple.  Clinton-era labor market deregulation in the 1990s.  So much for the "American dream."  

Yet, Democrats put on a show about giving a shit about what's happening on the border when Trump is around and do nothing about this.  Meanwhile, as soon as Biden is in office they all but forget that the border even exists.  

But if you want to know who democrats actually represent, look no further than whoever donates to their campaigns.  It's the fortune 500 companies who bankroll their campaigns, not people like us.  Or migrants. 

There's a similar story to be told about Blacks in the United States.  Except their story is even worse.
