So you either
A) posted the thread and didnt know Jefferson didnt say that, which questions who the stupid one is
or
B) Started a thread based upon a LIE
They both cant be true
Try
C) You're stupid and it doesn't matter if Jefferson never said it, what matters is that cons think he said it
AGAIN, under a Democracy, we get majority rule, we dont have majority rule.. Majority selects a REPRESENTATIVE to decide the rule of law.
If we were a Democracy, blacks might not still not be allowed to vote, since only whites would have been able to vote to determine this. ACA wouldnt be the rule of law, since the majority oppose it. The speed limit of 55 on the highway, probably never would have been the law of the land, since the public, never voted on the speed limit..

Both statements true. We are a republic, not a democracy. And any form of democratic rule under a republic will fail when socialism is introduced.
Without any socialism, there would be no public schools, public libraries, post office, fire dept. etc.
Any service that all pay for but only some use is socialistic.
How does some conservative calling the form of government we have a Representative Republic, and not a Democracy, change the facts which is that we're a Representative Republic, which is a FORM of Democracy.
The difference of course being a Democracy is for the majority, a Representative Republic is for the minority.
You have NOT addressed the point I made
Anytime any liberal. or anybody other than a conservative, refers to America as a "democracy" the righties all attack, accusing them of not understanding basic civics, and babbling about Benjamin Franklin and 2 wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch
The OP throws the word stupid around loosely. I suggest that he look in the mirror the next time he chooses to use it.
