The US is a representative republic, not a democracy.

Get over it, snowflake.

They were four-square behind the prescribed Constitutional method in 2008 and 2012 as well as 1992.

Hillary must have forgotten that as she didn’t try to go after those rust belt states and did a lousy job going after those battleground states.

The presidency was won by a landslide of electoral votes (that, democrats, means MANDATE ). Bill could have (should have?) told her that. She phoned the whole thing in and expected to win on her charm and good looks (gag...barf) and the fact that she didn’t have a schlong was suppose to guarantee her win.

If New York Ninnies and West Coast Wussies don’t like the electoral college math, then all they need to do is move their entitled butts to some battleground state. Of course that would mean that they’d then have to live amongst us deplorables, and on a daily basis encounter those who hold different viewpoints - which essentially rules out that option for these safe-place snowflakes.

Someone should point out leftist coalitions are not popular democracies. Alinsky coalitions are a great example. The small narrow interest group has the same vote as the big, broad interest group.

And above all, the single individual who has the connections to bring in the funding has more power than the millions of people they speak for who do not bring in the funding.

I cringe anymore when I hear “our democracy” used by anyone.

Absolutely correct. We MUST DEMAND that our schools TEACH the difference so that EVERYONE in America knows we are a REPUBLIC. We hear so much about democracy all the time, but we never hear anything about a republic it’s no wonder people are misinformed.
