AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between Republicans and Democrats, as well as the broader concepts of democracy and republic. Participants emphasize the importance of sharing personal views rather than relying on external sources for definitions. A key point raised is the distinction between political concepts and the two major U.S. parties, with some arguing that a republican democracy is preferable for national governance, while absolute democracies might be more suitable for local governments. The conversation also touches on the fact that not all republics function as democracies, citing examples like China and North Korea, which label themselves as "People's Republics." Overall, the thread encourages an exploration of political ideologies and their implications in governance.

Difference between republicans and democrats?
Just wanted to know what's your ideas are...

Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
