Democracy? The Founders didn't aim to create a democracy. This kind of bullshit is what you get when you allow the rule of the mob.
A large number of the people who voted Democrat today (and in other elections, to be sure) are too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with instructions written on the heel.
Actually you are right. They created a representative republic.
But please tell me what you think should be done to get the people to "vote correctly".
Maybe we should go back to only land-owning white males?
