I read the article. Where did you see that I did not read the article.
The ancient democracy in Greece is different than where we are today. They do not vote in their representatives. They get a lottery system. It's more random chance (without cheating that is). And those representatives only get one term.
Where are we today with Schumer and Pelosi?
That's democracy back then.
We are not.
By you saying "No. I didn't see any of that." about a significant chunk of the article you posted.
Do you still not understand that there are different forms of democracy? That a direct democracy isn't the same as a representative democracy?
Yes, classical Athenian democracy of Ancient Greece is different from the representative democracy we have here today.
I didn't see part of your reply. I saw that now. I do understand about the Athenian democracy is different than what we have today.
Maybe we should go back to Athenian Democracy if we want democracy. Our form of democracy does not work right now. It sounds good on paper.
So you're saying that we are a democracy now?
You keep flip flopping your argument here.
No. I am saying that we used to have a democracy. We are no longer. Whatever we have now, it's not a democracy.
The article I post, that's democracy to me. We don't have that.
