      You said

      in a pure democracy, you can elect anybody

      Just one comment above this.

      Here:

      And we clearly were discussing the US. And whether a treasonous person would be a legitimate choice for president.

      I’ve no idea what the rest of your comment means. How could I be stalking you if you replied to my comment? And why would I be stalking some random?

      Edit also a “democratic Republic” is a democracy, and that study specifically says there’s no evidence of democracy, but a ton for oligarchy

          Are you high or something?

          You’re implying the Cambridge study doesn’t actually mean what it means, because “the US is a republic”, not realising a republic is a type of democracy. The Cambridge study concludes:

          The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.

          Is that too hard to understand? I can try to simplify it if you like.

          Also, you said “I never referred to a pure democracy”, when you said that verbatim.

          Thirdly, what the fuck is this about “stalking”? You replied to me replying to some other dude?

              Are you now ashamed of your craziness, so you can’t say anything, but you think you won’t have been wrong if you “get the last word” by spamming meaningless grunts?

              The US isn’t a democracy (nor a republic) according to science, you “stalked” me and you did refer to a “pure democracy”.

              If you can’t stand behind your words, then perhaps better think further before posting, mhm?

                  So to recap; you reply to me, talking about “pure democracy”. I then reply, to which you reply “stop stalking me, I never even mentioned ‘pure democracy’”?

                  I think I got that right. And yes, it is fascinating that someone would do that.
