Pure democracies are not the way to run a customer.
Alright, so I've seen several comments in response to the
last video saying the way to run a casino comments
in response to the last video saying the US is
not a democracy, or the US is a constitutional republic
instead of a democracy.
You know, with such divisive comments, it's important for us
to remember that we live in a hybrid country where
republic representatives are democratically elected.
And given that, when we talk about democratic versus republican
ideologies, what we're talking about is how much power do
we want to give to the people, the people being
the working class, people like you and me, versus how
much power do we instead want to give to a
small select few.
Look, I understand there are several patriots in this country
through their American pride who say, our founding fathers has
established us as a republic, or have established us in
certain ways, whether it be expirec or whatever you believe.
But one thing you need to remember is that our
founding fathers, they never agreed on anything.
They were always in disagreement, and through long debates and
necessity, they had to compromise.
And their end result of compromise is essentially this country.
And on top of that, you gotta remember that our
founding fathers' job, it was an incomplete one.
They weren't done.
They never established the concept of term limits for all
offices.
They never established the concept of minimum wage.
At their time, and they couldn't possibly understand that unchecked
capitalism could yield monopolies.
They also couldn't comprehend social security nor Medicare in their
time.
It's up to us in the modern day to make
sure that the government is as fair as possible to
the people.
And look, that means different things to different people.
So one of the main things it means is that
we need to elect representatives who advocate for their constituents,
the working class, people like you and me.
That's not something we're seeing today.
The only thing we see today is representatives who, despite
whatever they say, only represent their donors.
And their donors' ideologies do not necessarily align with the
desires of the people.
What the working class wants, what the people want, is
to have unions in their jobs so they can have
a decent salary in a safe working environment.
What the working class people want is access to health
care.
What the working class people want is the ability to
send their kids to an education system. that is both
functional and well funded
But most importantly, what the people want is power over
our government because none of us always trust the government.
Doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican, we don't always
trust the government.
So we need to have the democratic power to vote.
And we need to have the democratic power to vote
people out of office when we want them out.
We need to have the democratic power to push for
legislation that benefits us.
So look, when somebody says most of the states in
this country don't allow you to put everything on the
ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run
a country.
Or someone celebrates our country as being a republic-only regime,
then you are against the will of the people.
Personally, I align with supporting a true democracy.
I believe true democracy is the only way that we
the people are gonna get the legislation that we want.
And this is why I align with the Democratic Party.
True democracy is the only way for us.
And the only way we're gonna get that is if
we vote blue.
