First of all, we are NOT a Democracy. We are a Representative Republic. The leftist school system in the U.S. has been preaching this “Democracy” garbage to our children for generations.

Because our representatives are chosen democratically, we are a form of democracy.

Especially since even our US senators are chosen democratically, which took power away from the states making our political system less of a republic.

We are a representative democracy.

Have you ever voted in a congressional election? That's democracy.

Have you ever voted in a statewide election? That's democracy.

The 17th Amendment rendered the Framers’ federal republic into a democratic republic.

‘Democracy’ to the rats means we are free to vote rats into absolute power. Majority rule is democracy.
