[Robert DeLong]

We’re not a Democracy. SO how can you save something that it is? Democracy is three wolves and a chicken deciding what is for dinner.

[DannyTN]

The most common definition of Democracy is to refer to a democratic republic. I know you are trying to keep democracy defined as not using representatives. But it's not how the world uses the term so get over it.

de·moc·ra·cy
/dəˈmäkrəsē/
noun

1.a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives: "capitalism and democracy are ascendant in the third world"

And a democratic republic is 600 wolves selling out 300 million sheep, and one honest wolf trying to do the right thing.

[bagster]

If you hear the term 'our democracy', rest assured that it's a derp stater saying it.

[Olog-hai]

Oh yes, that word “democracy”.

“(T)he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.”

— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2

“What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. […] Democracy would be wholly useless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.”

— The Principles of Communism

“(I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”

— Woodrow Wilson

So what these people really mean when they say “save US democracy” is “save US socialism”.

(Not to mention the historical fact that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was originally called the Social Democratic Labor Party of Russia.)
