Looking thru Twitter you see people saying democracy is dead, democracy is dying, democracy might die, some even questioning whether we ever were a democracy. I see a democracy under attack and a generation rising up to say “HELL NO. It will not die on our watch.”

We are not a democracy. The USA is a republic. I know. I was born and raised here and have been voting since the age of 18. Never missed a local or federal election. We just pretend to be a democracy so we can kill the poor populations off in other nations.

We are a republic and also a representative democracy. It’s like saying we have windows and we also have a door.

Not sure you know what you are talking about.

When nine-tenths of your elected officials do the bidding of corporations, and not the people, then you DON'T have a democracy. That's called an oligarchy.
