We argued this on the old board. I’m not wrong. What the founders described as republic includes representative democracy.

Wrong.
I think left wing outcomes cause poverty and violence and left wingers either don’t care, or are ignorant or like it…

How do you think that happens? I think inner city violence and poverty are the results of redlining and other racist policies of the past. “Left wing” policies don’t seem to be doing enough, but I believe, based on what I’ve seen proposed, that right wing policies will exacerbate the problem.
It has nothing to do with ignorance on how economies work. Socialism is not their religion. And its nothing like Venezeula.
They don’t have any right wing policy in those cities. It’s all left and far left.
And…You mean after 50+ years of dem city control they didn’t fix redlining and racist policy? Then why keep voting for the dems. They are the party of the confederate. Perhaps that’s the problem.
As I said:
“Left wing” policies don’t seem to be doing enough, but I believe, based on what I’ve seen proposed, that right wing policies will exacerbate the problem.
Because the GOP solution involves taking money away from the public schools in these areas, take away the social programs, and tell them to sink or swim.
The Democrats might be the party of the confederates in name, but the Republicans are the party of the confederates in belief.
Inaccurate cartoon is inaccurate.
If the schools are full of money because of dems, why is the education so poor in these cities and states?
And school choice does not remove money from education it’s just empowers parents. Why don’t you want parents empowered?
The cartoon is exactly your previous argument… It’s such a common argument from the left, they make cartoons about it now.

Wrong! We are best referred to as a constitutionally limited “Republican Form of Government” See Article 4, Section 4 of our Constitution.
And that constitution was intentionally designed to protect against the “excesses” of democracy.
Elbridge Gerry and Roger Sherman, delegates from Massachusetts and Connecticut, urged the Convention to create a system which would eliminate “the evils we experience,” saying that those “evils . . .flow from the excess of democracy…” and that includes your love affair with "From each according to their ability to pay, to each who needs help living a decent life." and why the Tenth Amendment was adopted.

Does it not redirect money from public schools to private and/or charter schools?
“It’s complicated” is not an answer. And sending me to some website means you can’t answer my question.
Who care about schools. Schools are not children. The money should be for the children and those who can educate them best.
The public school system in those cities is a leftover from the 1800’s and needs to evolve.

Well, if Kimberly Klacik is being truthful, and I can personally attest that she is [I am very, very familiar with Baltimore], then yes, LA, as is Baltimore, reflects Venezuela’s downfall caused by Democrat control for generations.

No its not.
Also, I doubt KC Green approves of having is work bastardized like that.
It is an answer when the situation is complicated and you seem to prefer to answer in right wing memes and cartoons. If you want to better understand the public school funding situation, you can review those links.
As a tax payer I want my tax dollars to go towards schools that help all those students in that community and not the select few who when a lottery to go to a charter school. My mindset is that if something is not working, you fix it, not throw it out.
If you care about good education then sending money to schools that have failed for decades is not helping is it? It’s also mean to the children as you deny them a good education. Do you care about children?
Baltimore and LA were taken over by self-described Marxists who amassed total power, suppressed the press, initiated democratic backsliding, and exiled critics?
What happens to the kids who aren’t able to go to a charter or private school?
Voting for Trump is mean to children. Do you care about children?
Just because the public schools would have less students does not mean they would close. In fact competition for students would help them also.
Voting for Trump is giving the children much better future. He’s already proven he brings peace and prosperity. Voting for dems brings about portland and chicago… Poverty, violence and ignorance…
I’m not implying they would close. I’m implying they would have even less money. Fix the issues so that all the students get an equal and good education instead of shifting the money over to private/charter schools where only those kids who win the lotteries to go to these schools will get the “good education” while the “losers” languish in under funded schools.
