Exactly. I wish I knew why people have started saying that the US is not a democracy. It's like one day I got online and into some chatrooms and suddenly everyone was jumping on anyone who said the US was a Democracy.
It concerns me that so many US citizens don't really understand the basic concept of Democracy and are now showing a lot of anger and scorn when someone talks about Democracy.
Really? You really don’t understand why? I think you’re coy. But I’ll play along. BECAUSE WHEN FAGGOT DEMOCRATS AND LEFTISTS USE THAT WORD THEY IMPLY A DIRECT DEMOCRACY AND YOU KNOW THAT.
We are not a democracy because it is clearly stated in the Constitution that we have a "...Republican form of government".
It doesn't say democratic Republic or representative democracy or any other name with democracy attached to it. Leftists are trying to sneek in their vile communism via "democracy".
Democracy is a leftist form of government where the minority has NO voice. ANY form of that is a slippery slope to enslavement.
We have a Republican form of government...if we can keep it.
How so? Because I know what a Republic is? And I don't need the Constitution to spell it out for me, because I understand what a Republic is.
Democracy is a concept going back thousands of years and has influenced our civilization more than anything else. It's something that philosophers and political academics have been studying for thousands of years.
But you want to dismiss it as just "mob rule" and that the Constitution doesn't spell it out that a Republic is a type of democracy?
Obviously the writers of the Constitution gave us too much credit and assumed that we would be an educated population.
And why is it that it's only been the last three years that this has been an issue? Like I said before, there are plenty of speeches by Republican presidents calling us a democracy. And telling us how important democracy is. Did some sort of mass awakening happen where we suddenly stopped believing we're a democracy? If so, what exactly occurred to cause that?
You can keep repeating yourself and calling me ignorant all you want. It doesn't strengthen your argument.
Why don't you tell me what you believe democracy is, and what a Republic is and then tell me where you learned about them? Maybe you'll be able to change my mind that way.

Period.
You can repeat yourself ad nauseam. It doesn't make you right.
Why do you want to continue going around in circles on this? What do you expect to happen?
You are ignorant about our government. That is very clear.
Why is it that President Reagan, one of the best Republican presidents ever, not understand that the US was not a democracy?
