Anyone with basic civics understands that the Framers of the Constitution had no intention of creating a democracy. But CNN's Donie O'Sullivan's pants are on fire when Repubs say the US is not a democracy.

Art 4 Sec 4 of the US Constitution
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
“It has been observed by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved, that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.
Alexander Hamilton
The Dems talk about democracy because they love the tyranny and power .
“The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.”
Thomas Jefferson
The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived.
John Quincy Adams
Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.
James Madison
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
Those who champion democracy forget that democracy is not liberty ;it is majoritarianism. They saying is that it is 3 wolves and a lamb voting for what is for dinner .
