I've seen a lot of stupid fucking discourse lately about righties insisting the US is a 'constitutional republic', as if that phrase means anything, and lib clapbacks about how its an democratic republic, with indirect democracy. And, like, obviously its all a meaningless debate about word definitions, since regardless of anything else the US is, technically speaking, fucked.

By is this push just wholly started by right-wingers to try to 'debunk' people wanting to get rid of the electoral college? The whole debate just seems pointless to me, as I really don't see why it would matter either way. But the way the 'debate' surged up seemingly out of nowhere makes me think its propaganda of some type, but I don't really even know what its propaganda for.
