Well, it’s official: Republicans are now arguing that the US isn’t (& shouldn’t be) a democracy.

This is what they believe. From lobbyists writing their bills to sabotaging our civil rights, the GOP works to end democracy.

In reality, we have to grow it.

We're not a Democracy and never have been. The United States is a Democratic Republic. How she's a sitting Congresswoman astounds me. The people of her district must be ignorantly proud of her.

America's a constitutional republic.

AOC says it's a democracy.
But she says she wants to make America socialist.
While she actually wants to make it a communist nation.

 Quoting: Sikhed


Wouldn't do any good because AOC is a product of Marxist controlled public "education" (indoctrination) which has deliberately not taught truthful American history and has filled the young mush brains with bullshit.
In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

“Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.”

– Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project


Normalize every aberrant behavior, bring common all deviancy and let fly the reins of morality and reason, then welcome in that utopia that liberals embrace called communism, that which most Americans with but a shard of ethic would immediately recognize as evil.

No, she is right.

Here is the definition of democracy...

"a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections"

If you think of this in terms of a Venn diagram, democratic republic is a subset of the group democracy.

You constantly hear our country referred to as a "Democracy" in the media to make us all forget we are a Republic. These Marxian globalist traitors and infiltrators HATE Republicanism. They want to wipe it from the American lexicon. Authoritarian commies love the mob rule of democracy.

AOC’s “Green New Deal” was beyond socialism, it was communism. Dems love accusing the right of what they themselves are guilty of.

Constitutional Republic is right. Its not in any way necessary to add democratic to the mix. A Republic already entails the people voting to elect their representatives. People like to add "democratic" to stress the voting rights of the people but again thats already implied in a Republic system of governance.

If the United States was a democracy, then 50% plus one vote could take away your right to free speech, freedom to peacefully assemble, right to bear arms and so on.

The Founding Fathers didn't want mob rule to vote out constitutionally guaranteed individual rights, that's why the entire constitution is a check and balance on mob rule and individual rights which (theoretically) can never be taken away by either the mob or the government.

When you say the United States is a democracy not a constitutional Republic, then you are saying that the mob and/or the government is superior to the constitution of the United States and the individual rights the constitution guarantees.
