Don’t fall for it. Conservatives have been beating the It’s a republic, not a democracy for many years now. They are too dumb to realize representative democracy is a form of democracy. We should have a direct democracy in electing the President. And I have no problem with Representatives voting on all the other stuff. Then again, a lot of times that means shit doesn’t even come up for a vote because the controlling party will say some bullshit like “We don’t have the votes to vote on it”. I’m not sure how to fix that, aside from electing better reps, but humans sure like the incumbent, no matter how ineffectual they have been.
