Although many people consider it a democracy, the United States is actually a constitutional republic.

almost we incorporated in 1871 organic act 1933 was securities act plus executive order to collect gold made owning large amouts of real money illegal pretty much.

I state this as a woman. I believe that property owners should only be allowed to vote and that being men. The majority of women especially if single vote with their feelings instead of facts.

I also believe that if you are on some type of govt assistance like welfare, you should not be able to vote. There is a conflict of interest there. Also land owners should be Americans and not foreign corporations just like India. Only Indians born in India can own property there. Me being a white person cannot go to India and start buying up all their properties and displace the people of India.

So true, and I blame tv for it and find these as grounds for treason.

The people vote for their leaders here. Really?
We are ruled by a literal army of faceless bureaucrats, EPA,OSHA,IRS,FDA etc. They are the officials that really affect your life.
What did your Representative, Senator, mayor, etc. ever did for you? Probably nothing.

We lost the republic in 1857

It's shocking how many do not know this.

what's shocking is most people think the founding fathers are heroes of democracy and freedom

when they were just wealthy elitist who wanted power and control over the poor

The idea that great wealth and democracy can’t exist side by side runs right up through the Enlightenment and classical liberalism, including major figures like de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Jefferson and others. It was more or less assumed.

Aristotle also made the point that if you have, in a perfect democracy, a small number of very rich people and a large number of very poor people, the poor will use their democratic rights to take property away from the rich. Aristotle regarded that as unjust, and proposed two possible solutions: reducing poverty (which is what he recommended) or reducing democracy.

James Madison, who was no fool, noted the same problem, but unlike Aristotle, he aimed to reduce democracy rather than poverty. He believed that the primary goal of government is "to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority." As his colleague John Jay was fond of putting it, "The people who own the country ought to govern it."

Madison feared that a growing part of the population, suffering from the serious inequities of the society, would "secretly sigh for a more equal distribution of [life’s] blessings." If they had democratic power, there’d be a danger they’d do something more than sigh. He discussed this quite explicitly at the Constitutional Convention, expressing his concern that the poor majority would use its power to bring about what we would now call land reform.

So he designed a system that made sure democracy couldn’t function. He placed power in the hands of the "more capable set of men," those who hold "the wealth of the nation." Other citizens were to be marginalized and factionalized in various ways, which have taken a variety of forms over the years: fractured political constituencies, barriers against unified working-class action and cooperation, exploitation of ethnic and racial conflicts, etc

The dumbo rats want to have a democracy
A one sided system.

You are right of course

Thank you for stating this so clearly. Five stars!

Duh! Civics 101!

I'm with you and Ima let you finish...but what happened when the "people" are mostly fuckinh stupid ass sheep?

And that’s why they want to teach critical race theory to children.

They made it into a democracy a long time ago. It is not a democracy any longer, though, because voting is fake.

So you want to go back to the days when only landowners and rich families could vote and hold power. Most of you people wouldn't be voting then.

Voting is fake anyway.

America would have been better off if only landowners could vote because we wouldn't have become socialist.

It used to be. Now our representatives are totally corrupted. And our voting is fraudulently manipulated against us.

Well then guys like me would be deciding who gets voted in. Lol, oh the irony.

More precisely, it is a federal based constitutional republic.

Dude.. STFU

Tard? Because I gave a normal description that doesnt fit your paranoid fantasy? I think we know who is retarded. But you go ahead and keep comparing apples to oranges you arrogant ignorant loser. A broken car is still a fucking CAR!

We know who is retarded. It is you.

Since November 22, 1963 the U.S. is neither a democracy nor a constitutional republic but rather a Freemason-administered/Z.onist-owned Banana Republic.
