re: Who believes we live in a democracy?

I do. It’s a little more complicated than that, because we were never meant to live in a straight up Democracy. Instead, we are a Democratic Republic.
But if I get your drift, that the way people vote doesn’t matter anymore, I disagree with that. If Trump had gotten more than 47% of the vote he would have won. He beat Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College, in spite of being beaten badly in the popular vote.
Now, Democrats have plenty of reason to think our democracy is flawed, having won the popular vote twice recently, yet lost the election.

Democratic Republic
Sound great and smart yet
The terms are mutually exclusive.
