    They prefer Mob Rule vs. a country where the government is limited to only what it is specified in our Constitution.

    They clearly know that half of the country do not understand government, so they keep repeating democracy, democracy, our democracy, our democracy, so the emptyheaded have something to grasp onto.

    In the US democratic elections are held.  The fatal flaw is the elected representatives are not accountable to the electorate.  Therefore a candidate promises anything to get elected.  He is then free to sell his services to whatever special interest group pays him the most.

    Our leaders who run the Constitutional Republic are elected in a democratic process.  Or did you not realize that?

    You people are very easily confused. Yes, the U.S. is a constitutional republic, but our electoral process is called "democracy" because we democratically elect the people who represent us in the republican government.

    We are representative democracy that in modern time is the same as a democratic republic.  Democracy has multiple forms but any government where the population chooses who governs, either directly or indirectly, is a democracy. You are a fool who is easily fooled.

    Because Trump and Republicans shyte on the Constitution so it is no longer a Constitutional Republic and becomes more of a dictatorship.

    Vote all Democrat in November to end this mess.
