"Democracy" is a word. It is usually not capitalized when used in a sentence unless it is the first word in that sentence. It has a definition. .That definition from Webster's is:Beekeeper » 29 Jan 2023, 8:22 am » wrote: ↑ Hey SFB's.

You've INVENTED crap that I never said and then tried real hard to attribute it to ME!! So take your propaganda from your SOCIALIST BS and shove it you arse!! Everyone here knows who and what you are and that's an obtuse idiot!
And there is no such thing as a "little d" Democracy. NO DICTIONARY lists that as s definition anywhere.But you and your nasty SOCIALIST ilk attempt to create definitions so that it becomes more palatable to the masses and you can convince people "its for your own good". SAME identical tactics that Marx laid out over a century ago.
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.
Is the United States a democracy or a republic? The United States is both a democracy and a republic. Democracies and republics are both forms of government in which supreme power resides in the citizens. The word republic refers specifically to a government in which those citizens elect representatives who govern according to the law. The word democracy can refer to this same kind of representational government, or it can refer instead to what is also called a direct democracy, in which the citizens themselves participate in the act of governing directly.
That definition accurately and precisely describes and defines our country. If the citizens of the United States want fire departments, they will vote for fire departments. If they want snow removal, they will vote for snow removal. If they want the sorts of social safety nets that Social Security and Medicare - and Obamacare - provide, they will vote for elected representatives that enact those sorts of programs. And none of those programs requires complete unanimity in order to be enacted... just a simple majority. That is how democracy works. That is how the constitutional republic called the United States of America works. And given the fact that 50% + one vote can enact those programs, that means that 50%-one vote's worth of the population does not get what they want. And THEY can and do get all butt hurt.... and whine.... like you.
