Lol, this is so rude! Did you learn to be so rude in your political β€œscience” classes, too?

There’s no reason to be angry. Since we’re splitting hairs: Like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares, all republics have democratic elements (power from the people) but not all democracies have republican elements (representation). You can be more descriptive, fine πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Some people even call the US a constitutional federal republic, so I don’t think your pedantry is very important overall.

Hey, I’m just quoting Ben Franklin. Excuse me for my ignorance!

They would say that we live in a republic, if we can keep it. Not a democracy.

The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel (Idle Words)

There’s a system designed for this posted years ago on the internet. It’s important to ship the burritos frozen when traversing the continent due to heat from the mantle. 🀣

I enjoyed this episode; you were brilliant! It reminded me of meeting you once at Stratford-upon-Avon, where I saw your presentation on studying infection microcosms. Looking forward to reading about your analysis of pomegranate vinegar!
