This is the plan: How to save Democracy

If you claim to believe in our constitution you have to understand the meaning of words

The founders used democracy and republic interchangeably

A republic that uses democractic elections to pick the representatives is a democracy

Go ahead

Keep being a dishonest fuck wit about it


And we will keep pointing out what a dishonest fuck wit you are while we educate the posters and readers of this site on history and the facts

The United States blends aspects from both types in a democratic republic or a representative democracy.

“It is both a republic and a democracy because it is a representative democracy in which we elect people to make decisions for us,” Bennion said. “The danger of suggesting that it’s either or… is that republics are not necessarily democratic.”

Representatives in republics can be chosen from select groups – such as an oligarchy or aristocracy – or even be a dictatorship and not reflect the will of the majority. Countries such as China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela or Syria are all republics but not democratic, Bennion said.

“It’s good to keep those terms together, rather than separating them, because although most representative democracies are republics, not all are,” Bennion said. “And there are many nations that use that term – republic – that are not what we would think of as democracies.”

Bennion noted that, in the United States, the terms republic and democracy are used interchangeably, as they were during the time of the framers of the Constitution.

A democracy has no representatives. The United States was never a democracy.
