What does this dumb bitch mean? That we are no longer a “democracy” because the people that she wants elected were not elected?

No they’re not. They’re not the same thing. A lot of people call dolphins fish, but they’re stupid.

A secular socialist educational system, including collegiate socialist indoctrination centers have succeeded in shoving quasi-marxism down the throats of our young people. All funded by taxpayers. We paying taxes to support institutions that are undermining our basic beliefs including the most basic belief...... belief in a Triune God from whence all freedoms are derived.
That fundamental belief held the early colonist together. Whether Protestant, Catholic, Quaker or Jew they all believed in ONE monotheistic diety, and the strong traditional family.
The attack on God and traditional family has been relentless and effective. Birth rates are down, divorce is pandemic, our young men are angry and killing, and the streets of many of our major cities are unsafe to walk after dark. It's getting worse.
Trump has orchestrated a resurgence of sorts, but I'm convinced it's too little...too late. We have a ticking time bomb and it's called unfunded liabilities. Have any of you folks researched our accumulated debt?
Sad.

All I see is a bunch of jibber jabber from Debra Messing that makes zero sense.

One usage of “Democracy” is very specidfic and does not describe our Constitutional federal government. Another is much more general and refers to basically any type of elected government
Don’t be a pedant.

It’s a colloquialism. They just mean a free country where people vote. No big deal, I just see it as incorrect shorthand .
