Does not really matter. This is not a democracy, but a Republic, and you can not use the fact we elect our representatives to undo the law. I do not believe the folks with those "Trump or Death" signs realize the effects years of the threat of violence have had on peaceful citizens.
Technically, it is not a republic but rather is a representative democracy because the public elects the government (the exception of the EC re POTUS, notwithstanding).
Not true. This is a Republic based on democratic principles. The reason the Constitution was written out, and the bill of rights added is to clearly delineate what the government cannot do to civilians. All those laws are supposed to be beyond the meddling reach of the courts, and since there were no initiatives envisioned by the founders, beyond the reach of civilians as well. In fact, one of the seven pillars of the constitution is republicanism, which means we elect the people who administer the law. We do not elect them to change it. Sorry to be arguing with someone I'm glad is voting for Kamala Harris, but there is a fascist troll(probably Russian) who keeps up truly idiotic comments.
There are 3 terms that accurately describe our nation's form of government & are equally valid: constitutional republic, democratic republic, representative democracy.
Well, if he wins again, I guess that's where America wants to be!
