| Why do people keep thinking this is a democracy? When was the last time our president was elected by a direct poular vote? Never!
Even our pledge of allegiance makes it clear. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the USA, and for the REPUBLIC for which it stands.
We are a republic much like rome was before ceaser. We don't have majority rule, we have represented rule, as in a congress we elected to represent us makes the rules. Screw electing the president, more importantly, whens the last time anyone got a chance to vote for or against a law, or even suggest a law that wa at least considered? |
