Ribit never responds in point to any statement.
He is the simplest of debaters. An ideologue.
We laugh at him because he vehemently ignores your proposition and responds with an irrelevancy.
This is the best evidence of a putz who discusses nothing and will never respond to your premise, and only wants to obfuscate, fuddle, muddle, fog, obscure, becloud, baffle, bewilder and confound.
What a constitutional republic is versus ten other polemic discussions of democracy is of course meaningless.
I have seen ribit do this constitutional republic irrelevancy shtick so many times I am bemused at the reality he does not understand that he is saying nothing and engages in this polemical, belligerent, pugnacious contentiousness because he has absolutely nothing of consequence to share.
An opinionated, pugnacious eristic putz is so defensive his only motive is an attempt to defer attention from personal idiocy.
I have no contempt for ignorant people who do not share my politics. I do however expect more from such a radiating imbecile than repetitious and meaningless words.*
