The founders invented a NEW type of republic
They brought together all the known ideas
They then cobbled together a hybred of the best aspects of the ones they found most beneficial and filled in the blanks with their own wisdom
The people would rule
If they could keep it
We ain’t giving it to you racists
We perfected it like they designed it to be perfected
The people did that
You want to erase all that work and success
Ain’t gonna happen
You awoke the bear

Which is communism.
Providing poor to nonexistent healthcare, and costing a ton of money to do it.
You don't get to speak for the dead. Omniscience fallacy.
The post office is not a business. It also is every expensive and slow for what it does.
I guess you forgot the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, passed by Congress and signed into law by Richard Nixon.

Types of representative democracy include:
- Parliamentary democracy – a democratic system of government where the legislative branch (the parliament) appoints the executive branch (typically a cabinet), which is headed by a prime minister who is considered the head of government.
- Westminster democracy– parliamentary system of government modeled after that of the United Kingdom, in which the prime minister is the head of the executive government yet subject to a non-executive head of state, typically a monarch, who provides ethical advice and serves as the titular head of the armed forces.
- Presidential democracy – a democratic system of government where the head of government is also head of state (typically a president) and leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch.
- Jacksonian democracy – a variant of presidential democracy popularized by U.S. president Andrew Jackson which promoted the strength of the executive branch and the presidency at the expense of Congressional power.

The United States was never a democracy, Vincy.
No. The Constitution rules. Democracies have no constitution and no representatives.
Nothing to 'take away'. The United States was never a democracy. It is a federated republic.

You bet I do. A democracy is an unstable form of government (mob rule). Sooner, rather than later, it dissolves into an oligarchy or dictatorship (Athens became a dictatorship).
A democracy is government by popular vote. There is no constitution, and there are no representatives. It is an unstable form of government and should be shunned.
A republic is government by law (a constitution). That constitution defines officers, describes their authority, and how they are to be elected.
The United States is not a democracy and never was. It is a federated republic.

Not conspiracies, elections did happen last Tuesday, Trump’s BIG LIE is a BIG LIE, Russia was all over the Trump campaign, and on 1/6 Trump’s MAGA militia upon encouragement of Trump attacked and destroyed the US Capitol and threatened the nation’s VP in an attempt to stop the will of the American people, all 100% fact regardless of how many times you deny the reality

Okay.
Athens, Greece was the worlds first attempt at a democracy. It lasted only a short time before it dissolved into a dictatorship and was later overthrown. The pressure of the Peloponnesian War certainly didn't help. The fall of Athens finally resulted in rule by Oligarchy, under the command of the Spartans, which won that war (the final victory was at sea).
Rome began as dictatorship, then became an oligarchy. For about 200 years they were a republic and prospered beyond belief during that time. It didn't last, however, since the slave rebellion pressured a return to dictatorship, with Crassus as the first dictator after this period. Crassus resolved the slave rebellion, and also conquered part of Sparta. Thus began the long history of dictator after dictator, eventually resulting in the fall of Rome altogether. By 1377, the Papacy returned to Rome, and established Vatican City. The Catholic Church, and Vatican City with it, rule by oligarchy, using a system of cardinals spread across many regions to determine who the Pope is going to be. While the Pope looks like a theocratic dictator, he is not. His power is established only by the Cardinals.
England was a dictatorship for many years, generally following the feudal system of government. Today's playing cards reflect this system of government. Each suit represents one of the castes in feudal society:
Clubs: the peasants.
Diamonds: the merchants.
Hearts: Royalty.
Spades: the military.
Spades are generally considered the highest suit, and clubs the lowest. After all, he who controls the military controls royalty, the merchants, AND the peasants.
Eventually revolts against the king resulted in documents such as the Magna Carter, and the rule of England changing to an oligarchy instead, leaving the 'king' as a mere figurehead. Power resides in the House of Lords now.
Other revolts against English rule took place around the world, forming independent nations. The most familiar to us here, of course, is the anti-British Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War, the founding of the United States as a federated republic, and the War of 1812, when Britain tried again (and lost).
Notable challenges came with the secession of several States and them forming their own confederation and constitution in an effort to avoid the federal government's attempts at seizing private property (notably the slaves). The War of Secession followed, fought between the United States (also called the Union), and the Confederated States of America (also called the Confederates). The CSA lost that war, and those States were not allowed to rejoin the Union until they agreed to outlaw slavery. Slavery still exists in the United States, of course (supported by Democrats), but illegally...notably in maid service and sex slavery.
Today, the United States is again dealing with internal rebellion, this time in the form of insurrection against the United States of America by the SDTC and SOTNY, as well as officials in Illinois. Again, this rebellion will be quashed. It is violent and senseless and has too few numbers to succeed.
The Democrat party has been taken over by radicals, leading this rebellion. The end result of this is the Democrat party becoming a fringe party, never to return to power again. Moderates, who made up the bulk of the Democrat party in the past, are leaving it. Who could blame them?
A new party may form from them, or they may just remain part of the Republican party. Personally, I see quite possibly a Moderate Party forming (as yet unnamed) out of the mess.
