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.

          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.
