Its a mind-fck that you think a true democracy would work. Especially when this topic came up in the late 1700s, and people were "woke" enough to know that a true democracy only leads to the "tyranny of the majority" and will lead to oppression of the minority...which flies in the face of true independence.
Not to mention, a true Democracy requires morally driven, selfless people in government...which also flies in the face of human nature.
That is why we are a Democratic Republic.
Honest question...you ever read the Federalist Papers?
My guess is no.....because you are ignorantly cheering for a failed system, a system that History has proven over and over again...only works for the elite and not the common man.
