"When the US "elects" a man who got less votes than his rival this is not a true democracy".

<breathless>
Christ!!! You socialists are fucking idiots. <snicker>

The United States of America is not a "true democracy". We are a Republic

Let me help your public educated mind out. Here are some definitions for you.

A. Pure Democracy: A democracy in which the power to govern lies directly in the hands of the people rather than being exercised through their representatives

B. Republic: A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them

Now here is something that you have never read---The Constitution. I know you have heard about it because your party tries to destroy it daily.

ARTICLE IV Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Now after reading this, which definition above fits with the Constitution? Is it A, B, None of the above or All of the above?

Happily yours,
Mana
