You're thinking of a certain type of democracy, a republic is a different type of democracy

If you've ever seen Star Wars... the Galactic Republic was famously a democracy, as lamented by Padme


Okay, explain the electoral college to me.

democracy is a code word for socialism.


It's so rare I see someone recognize socialism and democracy are intertwined.

The electoral college is a simple example of representative democracy, where the electoral voters are the representatives who are voted in by the people

this is checkmate to you? Idk what the hell you're even talking about, trying to argue America isn't a democracy?

It's embarrassing to think that America isn't a democracy my friend... touch grass instead of going down these bizarre fringe definitions of common words

Could take the job of thousands of overpaid do-nothing government workers, saving the taxpayer millions, and doing more work than they ever could!


Shortsighted, you think the govt depts will accept less funding? they'll claim AI takes MORE money with LESS people. govt depts dont get funding reduced.

Sure they do. Pretty well every time there's an election and priorities shift, at least a few departments get reduced funding. Especially in a bipolar environment like the US where a new president/congress/house is frequently to almost always from the opposite party as the previous. Democrats care about some things Republicans don't and vice versa. There will be some that both parties support and those departments probably rarely if ever see reduced funding, but there are many that are more controversial and can even be completely shut down.
