Our system was created in spite of democracy. "2 wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner," is a common quote im sure you're familiar with. The founders rejected every bit of the monarchy and its systems. When idiots say "our democracy," they are absolutely insinuating that we are not a constitutional representative republic. When you say democratic republic, you mean like Somalia? Afghanistan? China? The Congo? Some of the attributes may be "democratic," but we are not them. I stand by my previous statement.
Anyone who has read any of our founding documents understands that a democracy was repugnant to them and for good reason. JJ, you get it. Huge difference between a Constitutional Republic and anything else.....
A direct democracy, or "mob rule", was what our founding fathers were against.
If our founding fathers didn't want any sort of democracy then they really fucked up by making this a republic, which I have pointed out about 10 times here now, is a type of democracy.
