Don’t you just love it that the country that made a point of it for decades to bomb some democracy into other countries also for decades ignored the votes and voices of its own citizens?
Anyone here old enough to remember how Gore lost even though he won, but a few people in power just decided to ignore that?
America never was a democracy, it always only pretended to be
Splitting hairs over the difference between a democracy and a democratic-republic misses the point. China, Russia, even North Korea, are all constitutional republics. Do you want to live in a country with a dictatorship like that? I don’t.
Oppose it. For most of my life the United States was not a dictatorship. It’s still not quite, yet. But MAGA is certainly trying.
Regardless, the distinction between democracy and a republic conservatives so often make to discredit democracy is one that slyly promotes dictatorship.
That implies our elected officials represent the will of their electorate. They do not. They represent the will of their corporate owners, “campaign donors”. It is a plutocracy.

Uh, I’ve got some bad news for you …
