Your post makes my point. Rule of law; another feature of "true" democracy you left out of your definition. Such considerations, and possibly others, should be included in your definition or it is incomplete.
Exactly. You keep expanding your definition of 'true" democracy, as I suggested. You're learning, grasshopper.No, because the Nazis maltreatment of the Jews started with the infamous "Nuremburg Laws"
A true democracy will insist that the rule of law is followed and moreover that these laws are just.
But a “true” Democracy will also insist theat the ideas, emotions, screwy idea and humongous brain farts of the majority will be forced on the entire nation, without recourse.No, because the Nazis maltreatment of the Jews started with the infamous "Nuremburg Laws"

“People just won’t do that”? Huh? Have you paid ANY ATTENTION lately? Rhetorical question - the answer is obvious.Of course, and it's because a people just won't do that. Not that any law prevents them from doing it.
It wasn't my definition we were discussing. It was yours. And you keep having to expand on it, after I pointed out your shortcomings in your definition. But you improve on it every post. Eventually you'll arrive at a comprehensive definition. Inevitable., it would seem. You know they say if given enough time a monkey would type out the Bible. So there's hope for you.No, you do
A true democracy is an accurate reflection of the people's will, specifically no eligible person is prevented from voting/standing
All restrictions on eligibility apply to everyone.
Now where is your perceived expansion ?
And we did. We also discussed your rather muddled idea of what a "true democracy" isIt wasn't my definition we were discussing. It was yours.
And you keep having to expand on it
I pointed out your shortcomings in your definition.

Good to see your getting your ideas of what a democracy is worked out. You were soooo confused. Glad I could help. No need to thank me.And we did. We also discussed your rather muddled idea of what a "true democracy" is
Nope, it's a simple, straight forward criteria
Do you need it detailed for you yet again ?
Nope, you simply asked obtuse questions

So now the best you got is grammar Nazi? Still glad I could educate you on how to think about "true' democracy. You're learning.*You are or you're
If your attempts to explain political terms can be viewed as anything, it is as a warning to others to avoid such muddled thinking.

Any idiot knows "true" (your term) democracy is more than merely free elections. I simply pointed that out to you. Sort of my way of mentoring. No need to thank me. I view it as a public service. Akin to giving a confused, misguided homeless man a roof over his head. In this case, intellectual shelter.And your best response to having your shortcomings pointed out, is to abuse others.
Your muddled thinking on democracy is about as educational as warning sign telling you what NOT to do.

More confused and senseless drivel. But you're understanding of democracy is getting better. I'm proud to have played a part in that. And yes, the 2nd Amendment does describe an individual right. I'm happy to see we both finally agree on that. It will make my educating you further on gun issues so much easier.Really, can you name one such "idiot" ?
Because really it's not

Do you need to "expand" on this ?
No, you merely exposed your ignorance on the subject
You present as much of a public service as the digestive system of birds do for parks attendants.
Now, in your own time, detail the criteria in the world-of-Waddy, to constitute a "true" democracy
(you can expand of the flaws I'll inevitably expose, in subsequent posts).
More confused and senseless drivel.

Yet more drivel. Did somebody call you an idiot? Is that why you're obsessing over it? Or is there some truth to it? Inquiring minds want to know.Nope concise and clear
If you can't understand simple English. you need to urgently attend to that
I note you dodge the challenge to name an "idiot" who knows that "true democracy is more than merely free elections."
*your
(you were talking about "meaningless drivel)
Please identify where you perceive changes have been made
Once again:

Which part do you not understand ?
Yet more drivel.

yet more drivel. Have you enjoyed following me down the rabbit hole this time? And are you asking me if you're an idiot? That's for you to look in the mirror and decide. I do know what most people think, though.No, just your inability to understand
IDK, did you ?
Because you said:
So the question remains:
Can you name one such "idiot" ?

Say hello yourself; you're down here. Sorry, 'that's it" doesn't cut it. Democracy is more inclusive than simply voting, as I've schooled you before. Now it looks like you're regressing on me. Some lessons I do need to teach over and over, it looks like. Well, I've got patience. Some people are just slow learners. But at least I've got you to admit the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. Maybe I should be satisfied with that.Say hello to Alice while you're down that rabbit hole.
