        Don’t feel too bad about it, remarkably few countries really do have democracy (even though many have more of it than the US).

      To be fair, what we specifically have is a republic, although we do have democratic voting to elect our representatives.

      Some of those representatives take the stance that they can choose whatever they want best, regardless of what their constituents want, because they were voted in.

      Other representatives take the stance that they should vote for whatever the majority of their constituents want.

        We have a Constitutional Republic…

        Which is a type of democracy

        Some…representatives…choose whatever they want…because they were voted in.

        Oh that there’s the Republicans.

        Others…vote for whatever the majority of their consituents want.

        Found the Democrats.
