Do Liberals just create worthless groups so they can hire each other?

The US is a REPRESENTATIVE Republic.

Yes it is, which is a form of democracy...

Democracy is mob rule.

Here you go-
These two forms of government: Democracy and Republic, are not only dissimilar but antithetical, reflecting the sharp contrast between (a) The Majority Unlimited, in a Democracy, lacking any legal safeguard of the rights of The Individual and The Minority, and (b) The Majority Limited, in a Republic under a written Constitution safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority; as we shall now see.

An Important Distinction: Democracy versus Republic

The US is a REPRESENTATIVE Republic.

If only you had some clue about what that means

It's flawed since it doesn't fit into their "definition" of democracy.

Interesting is, that whenever they talk about "flaws", they rarely present their definition of "perfect" since they know nobody would buy it.

The United States is downgraded to a 'flawed' democracy


The United States is downgraded to a flawed democracy from a full democracy by the Economist Intelligence Unit. Elizabeth Keatinge (@elizkeatinge) has more.

Yeah well, when leftie leaning states issue ID's and allow illegals to vote with merely a piece of mail with your name and address on it, then of course there's a problem.

Voter ID Requirements by State

California:
Identification Requirements to Cast a Ballot

Most voters will not need to provide identification or proof of residency when they vote. Usually, the ONLY time a voter in California is required to show any type of document before voting is if you:

• Registered by mail or online;
• Did not provide your driver’s license number, state identification number or last four digits of you social security number on your registration form; and
• It is your first time voting on a federal election in this county.

In that instance, you may be asked for one of over 30 acceptable forms of identification or proof of residency, such as a driver’s license, utility bill or a check from the government. If you are voting by mail you should include a copy of this identification or proof of residency with your ballot. This does NOT have to be a photo ID. If you do not have any of these documents to prove your identity or proof of residency, you can vote by provisional ballot, which will be counted if the signature on your ballot matches the signature on your registration form. Be sure to ask an election official the deadline for providing your identification to the county elections office.

VoteRiders has created California voter ID info cards in English and in Spanish.

If you're not sure what ID you need or for help getting an ID to vote, call 844.338.8743. Someone will respond to walk to you through the process.

New York


Identification Requirements to Register to Vote

The New York Voter Registration Application asks applicants to provide a DMV identification number (either a driver’s license number or a non-driver ID number) or else the last four digits of their Social Security Number.

If you do not have either a DMV or Social Security Number, you can send a copy of the following acceptable forms of ID along with your registration form in order to establish your identity:

• a valid photo ID;
• a copy of a current utility bill;
• a bank statement;
• a paycheck;
• a government check; or
• some other government document that shows the applicant's name and address.

If an applicant’s identity cannot be verified before Election Day, she or he will be asked for ID when she or he votes for the first time.

Identification Requirements to Cast a Ballot

Most voters are not required to provide an ID at the polling place. However, if an applicant does not provide the above identification information with their voter registration application, he/she will be required to provide this information when voting.

VoteRiders has created New York voter ID info cards in English and in Spanish.

If you're not sure what ID you need or for help getting an ID to vote, call 844.338.8743. Someone will respond to walk to you through the process.

Republicans sure bring that up often. LOL

Pure democracy is, sure. The closest you might have to that is the UK system. Most others have facets of democracy in their system. Most dictionaries describe the US and other western countries (generically) as democracies.

 

[Brynmr]

Another - we are a Republic.

But you didn't refute it. And I'm not a Republican. LOL

From the Heritage Foundation:

The United States Constitution created a republic, not a democracy, Georgetown University law professor Randy Barnett explains in his new book, Our Republican Constitution.

“It all is based on two different readings of what ‘We the People’ means in the Constitution,” he told Heritage’s Rob Bluey last week in an interview for The Daily Signal.

If you take “We the People” to mean a group and you believe that the group must rule. The only way “We the People” rule is majority rule. Under that rubric we need a democratic constitution to empower the people, to voice their opinions, their will, through the representative bodies and that’s what makes law. The majority gets to put their opinions or preferences into law.

Barnett goes on to explain what the Constitution really means:

The alternative reading of “We the People” sees “We the People” as individuals, each of whom are endowed with the individual rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And then the next sentence of the declaration says, “to secure these rights — governments are instituted among men.” That established the principle that first comes rights, then comes governments, and government’s purpose is to secure the rights of the individual. And if you take this vision of government, then we need a republican Constitution to provide the law that governs those who govern us.
