If you're incapable of clicking a link, we can go to the host stand and get you a placemat and some crayons. The US is not a democracy, by definition, regardless of what your kindergarten teacher is telling you.

lol what the fuck are you talking about homie. you delirious or just retarded?

[–] rug_burn 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You're acting like a child, so I'll speak to you like you are one. You're too lazy, dumb or all the above to click a link that explains in detail how the US isn't a democracy, it's a republic. How the fuck this thread devolved into that I can't even remember.

And I believe the phrase is "mentally challenged". Don't get canceled "my G".

I dunno if you're retarded and worthless or just retarded.

There's no link above you waste of space. Go have your keyboard seizure elsewhere you window licking shit rag. Lmfao

Also back to the first point. Your "definition" of democracy was still wrong lol so I dunno where you're getting the air of superiority from. No go be stupid somewhere else
