Is Democracy At Stake?

[_33]

A lot of people on twitter seem to think so. I think probably not. What say you goEMAW?

In 1776 our democracy was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

The US is not a democracy.

Yes it is. And don't clapback with Constitutional Republic thinking you're being clever.

_33, you're my bud, but I'm pretty sure you're the worst pit poster.

Which is kind of crazy! Especially considering you're pretty good at everything else!

Settle down, everyone. And to answer the OP, absolutely not. This is a Certified Fresh example of democracy at work.

Really? That can’t possibly be correct.

It's certainly for the best that not everyone shares 33's cavalier attitude.

I’d replace “cavalier” with “cynical” but I understand your point.

1787 and Republic.

No, the Republic is not at stake.

Ah. I understand the skepticism.

I’m a bit of an optimist, but I think Trump could end up being great for our democracy because he has basically broken all the unwritten rules and made people realize we should probably write some of these down.

All it takes is a complete idiot who is also an egomaniac for people to realize that maybe the elected president should have a little less power.

I voted for that Mormon guy Evan McMullin because sys said if some weird thing happened he could win the whole election maybe.

[catastrophe]

I voted for Gary Johnson. I’m not really ashamed or proud of it.

If you live in Kansas, it really doesn't matter who you vote for anyway.

It’s getting closer to mattering. Which is crazy to think about.
