Face it, it was an epic failure

Democracy always fails, in the end. History teaches us this…
We should abide by the our Constitution. If followed, by a moral citizenry and trustworthy elected government officials , it pretty much works.
Unfortunately, we have allowed our elected officials to pervert the “rule of law” and to cater to “special interests”. Government has limited responsibilities: protect our sovereign borders, ensure fair courts, and protecting individual rights and liberties.

We are NOT a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic and we should get back to acting like it.

Removing Opposition candidates? What political party put that into practice in the recent past ?

I agree; but fortunately the United States is a Constitutional based Republic with installed checks and balances and NOT a mob rule democracy. So . . . no problem.

Trump has made a mockery of checks and balances.

Except that he hasn't; and they are still working . . . otherwise there would be fascism rammed down our throats . . . like Joe Biden's handlers wanted to do to us.

Well sometimes to save a heart, your have to stop it so it can restart with a normal rhythm

Define democracy

A government system of officials elected by the civilian population. And a lot can go wrong with the fact that most people are uneducated or ignorant of many things.

Begs a few questions.
-Are ALL democracy systems the same or equal, or are some constrained, & only others have checks and balances within the parameters of a Constitution with individual rights guaranteed?

-Is there a difference between a Parliament and a Constitutional Republic as a democracy?

-What's the difference between EDUCATION and IGNORANCE?
