The United States of America is a Republic, NOT a Democracy. Anyone who tells you we live in a Democracy is lying to you. More than likely, it’s a Democrat (Democratic Socialist) telling you that. Ask a Republican they are more likely to tell you the truth:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I pledge allegiance to our Republic. Don’t you dare call it a Democracy. We may do certain things democratically, but we are a Republic, governed by the rule of law.
The Constitution of the United States created a Republic.
The Constitution of the Communist Party USA creates a Democracy.

Uh, hello, a Republic is a form of democracy idiot. There are many forms of democracies and a Republic is but one.

Republic = Rule of law
Democracy = Rule of mob popular opinion
Our nation was founded as
A Constitutional Republic, NOT A Democracy.
The MSM and Educational system have repeated the lie of
“the USA is a Democracy”
so many times that now many people believe it.
They believe that the popular vote should determine the next President, even though the Constitution says no such thing.
The Electoral College Electors are scheduled to meet in their respective states on December 15th and vote for Constitutionally-eligible candidates for President and Vice-President.
Obama may be a “native” born citizen of the U.S., but he is not a “natural” born citizen.
He is not eligible for the office he seeks.
Our founders knew that every Democracy in the history of the world had failed. (Notably failing at the point in time at which the majority realizes that they can vote themselves money from the Treasury).

And now U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has authored a book called:
I think that a Justice who thinks our country is a “Democracy”, rather than a “Constitutional Republic”, should be impeached, convicted, and removed from the Judiciary.

Article IV Section 4 of the United States Constitution:
September 23, 2011 at 9:06 am
Per the original, unammended Constitution, there was only one office, only one person, for which “We the people” voted democratically, with the winner chosen by popular vote.
That one person was/is your representative in our federal government. That one person is your Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
It was the 17th Amendment that changed the Constitution to elect Senators by popular vote, rather than by a vote of their state legislature. I think the 17th Amendment was a huge mistake, and should be repealled, but that’s a topic for another day.
Thankfully, the Constitution has not been ammended to elect the President by popular vote. (Although there are some who are trying to get around that with a method that I think is unconstitutional). If the President were elected by a nationwide popular vote, then Presidential candidates would campaign in only the top 10 to 15 biggest cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.) and they would basically disenfranchise the voters of say, South Dakota. It would be impossible to contain fraud. (Whereas today, fraud is contained to the state where it occurs… the most any one state’s fraud can steal is their own state’s electors, not the entire election in one shot).
