i’ve seen explications before, but i’m open to the possibility that you have a novel theory that is testable, falsifiable, and valid.

These are not my “pet definitions” but accepted definitions of what a dictator/dictatorship is in the political sphere. It’s called context.

can you substantiate this claim, that governing by dictate is not an accepted definition"in the political sphere". while we’re on it, what do you define as “the political sphere”?

i think he’s a dummy, and he may be operating on my folksy definition of “dictator”. my assumption is just as valid as yours.

so it’s dumb to say it that way, but i don’t believe he ever said he’s planning to “end democracy” or even meant to imply that.

Both abstaining from vot8ng and voting third party are mathematically equivalent to voting for a capitalist

no, they’re not. calling your storytelling “math” doesn’t change its veracity.

it’s a problem on .world, too, including their matrix instance.

That’s not what a dictatorship is. A dictatorship is where one person (the dictator) has almost complete control over the government with few, if any, restrictions.

they are literally creating policy by dictate. your pet definition seems crafted to exclude this obvious use of dictate.

To link executive orders to a dictatorship shows a misunderstanding of executive orders, dictatorships, or both.

Also, in the quote of being a “dictator for just one day,” executive orders were not mentioned

no one is accusing trump of being a knowledgeable statesman.

people argue if Biden made material compromises with leftists and progressives then moderates and liberals wouldn’t vote for him.

they didn’t say they believe this

I’m a leftist and I don’t vote for capitalists or war criminals.
