What do right-wingers mean when they keep mindlessly repeating "we're a republic not a democracy" and why is it always in response to people criticizing the latest anti-democratic thing right-wingers are trying to push? They just say "we're a republic not a democracy" without any further elaboration and it's almost like even they don't understand what they're saying.

They're wrongfully assuming that you're smart enough to figure out the difference yourself.

In a democracy the people themselves (the demos of the polis) form the executive council (bule) that acts as the executive of the state. The ekklesia is governed by a rotating council elected by lot. Does that sound like the American system to you?

The truth is we’re both a republic and a democracy. Most governments aren’t as black and white as the faggots that spend their days talking about theory online would like to believe

Why don't you explain the difference? It must be very simple and I'm just too dumb to understand it.

They mean they're not in direct communion with the politics, there is a middleman that takes their requests and sends them up. Theoretically it stops the masses from doing harm, but if the masses have reached that stage, the only middlemen you get are demagogues, "people leaders" or trainers

You are the one who seems to not understand the difference, OP. Because there is a significant difference. And you should have learned the difference in highschool.

One wonders why you would even taking the time to pose if you weren't going to bother explaining this simple difference.

Because it is something you should already know. It is taught to every single fucking child in the US in gradeschool. I bet if jiggawattnigger made a rap song about it, you would be able to recite it verbatum. Or are you a harry poofter faggot?
