When will be your “this is the last fucking time I’m voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’, then I don’t care after that, let this country burn to the ground”? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I’m going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I’m done. It’s just pointless. Let’s hear it.

      The dictionary. Democracy is, by definition, where every voice can be itself.

          An etymological one. It’s a combination of “demos” meaning “of each citizen” and “kratos” meaning “rule”. Demo-cracy.

            That doesn’t support your earlier claims. And the etymology of a word isn’t its definition.

                If you need the concept of a word having a definition explained to you, you need to be talking to sometime far more patient than me.

                  The whole point of etymology is to construct a word that fits a certain definition, so for the definition and the etymology to contradict would render the way the word is built pointless.

                    I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.
