By the way, they think democracy died any time the voters don't elect left wing radical Democrats.

You know, it reminds me of Inigo Montoya and the Princess Bride when it comes to democracy.

You keep on using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

Like their definition of democracy is not what you actually would get looking in the dictionary, which is the people voting.

And actually, pure democracy is the people voting and choosing the policies that will govern their country.

We don't have a pure democracy.

We have a republic.

What is a republic?

A republic is where the people vote to elect their representatives.

So the people are not voting on, should our top marginal tax rate be 36% or 50% or 10%.

That would be direct democracy.

But instead...

We have, you could call it a democratic republic because it is a republic where democracy operates to elect our representatives.

But when people use democracy, capital D, they usually mean that the voters get to decide.

But that's not how Democrats use it.

That's not how the media use it.

Instead, what they mean by democracy is,

is socialists and Marxists are in power.

And by the way, they're perfectly happy to ignore the voters if it keeps them in power.
