The United States isn’t a “democracy.”

[anatta]

the word democracy was CHANGED by what the founders designed
they created a hybrid government of democracy, constitution and representation
Pure or direct democracy now means what the word Democracy used to mean


Democracy now covers a republic Words have meanings

The founders ideas were SOOOOOOOOO effective and successful they changed the meanings of words


You can tell when people don't know and or honor the meanings of words and the full impact our brand new type of Democracy created by the founders because they lie about the meaning of the word Democracy

Direct democracy
political philosophy
Written By: Theo Schiller
See Article History
Alternative Title: pure democracy

Direct democracy, also called pure democracy, forms of direct participation of citizens in democratic decision making, in contrast to indirect or representative democracy, based on the sovereignty of the people. This can happen in the form of an assembly democracy or by initiative and referendum with ballot voting, with direct voting on issues instead of for candidates or parties. Sometimes the term is also used for electing representatives in a direct vote as opposed to indirect elections (by voting for an electing body, electoral college, etc.) as well as for recalling elected officeholders. Direct democracy may be understood as a full-scale system of political institutions, but in modern times, it means most often specific decision-making institutions in the broader system environment of representative democracy.

what do you think of this idea?

[Getin the ring]

The first person in my lifetime that I remember raving to disband the Electoral College was Donald Trump in 2012.

And he was wrong when he said it too.

Happy now nut-bag?

you're so easy to please, just play to your triggered state of being, and it's all rainbows and lollipops

Ask yourself if any of this non-sense from the left on ridding the electoral college would be taking place had Hillary won, but Donald managed to round up more popular vote.
The answer should get you to crawl back in your hole, but I doubt you will.

So bloviate

From “one of America’s smartest political writers” (Glenn Beck) comes a fascinating and accessible history of the United States’ unique and enduring relationship with guns, for fans of Chris Kyle’s American Gun.

For America, the gun is a story of innovation, power, violence, character, and freedom.

From the founding of the nation to the pioneering of the West, from the freeing of the slaves to the urbanization of the twentieth century, our country has had a complex and lasting relationship with firearms. Now, in First Freedom, nationally syndicated columnist and veteran writer David Harsanyi explores the ways in which firearms have helped preserve our religious, economic, and cultural institutions for over two centuries. From Samuel Colt’s early entrepreneurism to the successful firearms technology that helped make the United States a superpower, the gun is inextricably tied to our exceptional rise.

In the vein of popular histories like Salt and Seabiscuit, Harsanyi takes you on a captivating and thrilling ride of Second Amendment history that demonstrates why guns are not only an integral part of America’s past, but also an essential part of its future.

Since when has being either one of those, both in some situations, stopped Democrats from wanting them to vote?
