Lol, this is so rude! Did you learn to be so rude in your political “science” classes, too?

There’s no reason to be angry. Since we’re splitting hairs: Like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares, all republics have democratic elements (power from the people) but not all democracies have republican elements (representation). You can be more descriptive, fine 🤷‍♂️

It is in fact not a pure democracy

I enjoyed this episode; you were brilliant! It reminded me of meeting you once at Stratford-upon-Avon, where I saw your presentation on studying infection microcosms. Looking forward to reading about your analysis of pomegranate vinegar!
