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.
The article you posted flat out said the US is a representative democracy.
If you're talking about classical Athenian democracy, that is what is referred to as "mob rule". Which means that there would be no Electoral College, and thus Trump would have lost the 2016 election due to losing the popular vote.
