Because unless the Left is in control forcing you to do things you don’t want to do, it’s not “democracy.”

People voting is not their definition of Democracy.

Yep. The left has redefined “democracy,” like everything else. Now it means “Us-ocracy.”

“Democracy” is one of those slippery words, of which changes definition, depending upon who is using it.

The Constitution of the United States of America nowhere refers to “democracy”, though democratic means are used to select the offices of the President and Vice-President, and the House of Representatives. The Senate is a special case, in that they may be elected by democratic means, do not represent anything like a “representative republic”, but more like a parliamentary House of Lords, with two Senators from each of the individual States. The judiciary branch Court system, which is NOT elected, but appointed by the President and confirmed by a majority of the Senate, cannot be called “democratic” by any means.

Ya. That looks like a $50 billion coastal down leveled from inept public appointees

That's literally what they think: they need censorship to defend "democracy."

Of course what they mean is that ordinary people should bend over and give the "last full measure of devotion" so that government by the elite, for the elite and of the elite shall not perish from the earth.

I wonder if I can ever get over cringing when hearing the leftists say “democracy”.
I was never over Macho Grande.
