The Liberals/Democrats believe (or at least insist) that the USA is a democracy rather than a Republic.
Liberals hate fixed reference points, such as words that actually have concrete definitions, the Constitution or the Bible.
They are so upset that the physical laws of the Universe are so precisely tuned as to demand a Designer that they have developed the Multiverse Theory. As in “keep giving ‘blind chance’ an infinite number of ‘do-overs’ until it gets the correct answers”.
Good point.
We vote for representatives who vote on our behalf. We also have an electoral college who makes the final say on who wins an election.
Clearly the founders didn’t trust the citizen voter and I can’t say that I blame them.
