Pets! Oh yes, they do keep pets but aren't they the ultimate enslaved pets? Who would want to be them? No one.

No. The United States is not now, and never has been, a democracy nor a republic with elected politicians who are beholden to ordinary citizens of the United States, as I show at https://open.substack.com/pub/johnspritzler/p/the-united-states-has-never-been?r=1iggn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web . Your leading key statement that "The United States is a republic and a democracy..." is simply not true.

The U.S. Constitution is theoretically the "Law of the land." But this document is NOT about making the United States a democracy in the sense of "Of, by, and for the people." It is all about making the U.S. government be "Of, by and for the wealthiest people," as I show at https://open.substack.com/pub/johnspritzler/p/us-constitution-help-or-hindrance?r=1iggn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web .

The Declaration of Independence is not a document that has any legal status other than to affirm that the United States is no longer ruled by Great Britain; it certainly does not make the United States a democracy.

Your leading key statement also says that the United States is "not a tyranny and not a psychopathocracy." Perhaps you are asserting that as long as the United States is not a tyranny (meaning ruled by a one-person dictator) nor a psychopathocracy (meaning, I suppose, ruled by individuals who are diagnosed by clinical psychologists as being psychopaths) then by default the United States must logically be a "republic and a democracy." This is false. The fact is that the United States is an oligarchy; it is ruled by the very rich. It is indeed not ruled by just a single individual (which would be a tyranny) nor are all of the rich rulers necessarily psychopaths (probably most are NOT psychopaths, just people whose morality is contrary to that of most ordinary people.)

I am certain that you are as well-informed about all of this as I am. Therefore, I am perplexed about why you affirm the very opposite of the truth in your leading and key sentence here. Why do you do that? Surely a campaign based on respect for the truth and on exposing lies would not proclaim as true what is arguably the most important lie that our anti-democratic oppressive rulers rely on to control us. Right? Why do you not tell the truth--that the United States is not a democracy nor a republic (in the democracy sense of that word) but rather it is an anti-democratic oligarchy. The TRUTH! Isn't that what your campaign is all about?
