Could I claim scrap 108 for Graphigender?

Someone else has shown interest in it, I’m double checking with them if they still are deciding or changed their mind. I’ll update when I get an answer

What’s the definition of graphigender though?

Could you explain how you're anti-democracy? Im kinda confused on that :)

So we all understand what democracy is, right?

Democracy is ‘everyone gets one vote.’ 

That would work perfectly, except that means majority wins. Without exception. 

The majority votes that trans people aren’t people? Trans people aren’t people anymore.

The majority votes for keeping the oil industry? Clean energy is thrown out the window.

The majority votes that disabled people don’t deserve compensation? Disabled people are now more likely to be homeless.

The majority votes to start a war, even though it’ll kill millions of innocent civilians? There’s going to be a war and millions will be wrongfully slaughtered.

The minorities’ voices get drowned out. They get no representation. 

“Democracy lends itself to tyranny.” - Benjamin Franklin

Sure, people act like we’re a democracy. But we’re not. As Thomas Jefferson walked out of the building after creating the Constitution, a woman asked, “what kind of country did you give us?”

He replied, “A republic, ma’am, if you can keep it.”

We’re not a democracy. That’s a lie Ronald Reagan fueled – one of his many – to put more money in his pocket and found more false nationality with the American people. 

We’re a republic. 

In a republic, the few make the votes. In a democratic republic, the many vote for the few who will represent them. 

That’s what we do. We vote for our representatives.

Except now, our representatives have become the same corrupt bastards that ruled and toppled ancient Rome. They’re filthy rich, and don’t care about votes until it’s election time, then it’s back to their old ways. They lie, they scheme, they keep secrets, and they sit on corporation-funded thrones of money while kissing the corporations’ asses, mooching for more, at the cost of the American people, who get screwed over by those corporations. 

When the people voted in 2016, the popular vote voted for Hillary.

When the electoral college voted, they voted for Trump.

So we got Trump instead.

The electoral college was meant to represent those states with lower populations per area, just as the Senate does for each state. Once upon a time, that was helpful.

Now? Our country’s government doesn’t listen. 

You all can preach, walk out of school, talk on Washington’s door, scream, pray, quit, riot, protest, all you want. It doesn’t matter.

You want the government to listen?

Attack their pockets.

Go for their money. 

Remind them that their oh-so-secure pile of dollar bills they sit on, could be wiped out from under them the second the people want to take it away.

Make them sweat. Make them shudder. Make them stare financial debt in the face. 

Then they’ll listen. 

I digress.

I’m anti-democracy, because democracy silences the minorities, without any representation or compensation. If the majority voted for the minority to be eradicated, it would be done. That is how the Nazis took power. That is how the full blown war and systematic genocide of the Jews got started. Because the majority wanted it, and the minority was silenced. 

Nobody talks about this, because we’re still in the throws of the fake ‘democracy’ idea we were fed by Reaganism. We’re led to believe that democracy is freedom, and freedom is what America is all about. 

But not anymore.

America’s become about corruption in government, lies, and ignorance. 

The day people stop calling us a democracy and actually a republic is the day I weep with joy.
