This wouldn't be my first go-around on this topic. I've done this plenty of times... and the usual nonsense, people send me links to Hamilton talking about a Democracy, not realizing they are sending me links of when he was in the Constitutional Congress, or when Hamilton talks about the Senate not being elected as in a Republic... which of course is referencing the fact that prior to 1913 senators were elected by the state representatives because they actually represent the STATE government, and not the people directly.
So dispelling all the nonsense that you might think you've found on the internet to somehow "prove" that we are a Democracy, please tell me (after reading the Federalist Papers), where in the US Constitution it says the word "Democracy." I will definitely wait...
Thanks,
Todd

Over the years I have often chuckled about the irony of Democrats complaining about "threats to democracy" all while they are living in a Constitutional Federal Republic.
Democrats fundamental ignorance of the type government that this nation is founded on is also cause for their continual hooting about "the popular vote" and their constant whining about the "unfairness" of the electoral college process, which they miraculously "love and cherish" again whenever they win.
There is a well known old saying:
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” [This message has been edited by randye (edited 01-09-2022).]

Great Idea !
When will the contesting begin ?
Can we make it a date ?
May I suggest a conveniently warm spring day, comfortable to the irate citizens wishing a nice country, good for commerce.
March 25, perhaps ?

Sourmash did say living there though. You would have to pay me a lot to do that.

Define "Living there".
I think we can make our own definitions just like they do.
I self identify as a New Yorker. If you disagree you are racist or something.

Non citizens voting indeed makes a joke of all of it. A kindergartner could understand that.
