“But this government of ours is a democracy. We vote for our representatives, and they vote in our interests.”
BULLSQUEEZE! That is how it is SUPPOSED to work.
Not only that, but it’s not a democracy. It’s a republic.
Democracy? We are not a democracy and I hate when people are so clearly demonstrating their ignorance without being called on it.
We live in a constitutional republic. We vote for people to represent our views in Congress.
In Vermont they still have the democratic practice of town meetings. But those places are small enough to handle a democracy. Even so, they elect selectmen to handle the day to day stuff.
Before anyone listens to someone talking about a civil war, we should be sure they know WHERE they are living and the form of government they are living under.
