AND YOU MUST ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.
It isn't an issue and we are not pretending we live in a democracy, because we know we don't.

The U.S. is a democracy only in the sense the citizens rule through freely elected representatives. Our votes are counted by using a system called the electoral college, rather than popular or majority vote.

The U.S. is a Republican Government, (governed by a rule of law) ...

What are the Advantages of Republican Government?

"The Founders thought a republican government was the best kind of government they could choose for themselves. They believed that the advantages of republican government were:

Fairness. They believed that laws made by the representatives they elected would be fair. If their representatives did not make fair laws, they could elect others who would.
Common welfare. The laws would help everyone instead of one person or a few favored people.
Freedom and prosperity. People would have greater freedom and be able to live well."

_________

We've known this since grade school, or at least those of us who remember doing this:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands ...

There is deductive reasoning I could comment on, but just knowing it is enough.

But then it happens that your politicians see that in América outside the USA the other nations grow faster tan the natural growth inside USA and then they push the abortion agenda worldwide to stop the growth of the otehr nations.


Your politician interveen in México pushin that abortion agenda and the gay agenda and pushing an agenda of hate against my people and an agenda of corporate colonialism. so I MUST address them pointing how antidemocratic USA is. Awaking USA citizens to unite the rest of Américan nations who are democracies.

That would be considered racist in our country. See, this is why you're ill-equipped to speak of what's going on here. Unless you live here, you're clueless.

What hate speech was used against your country?
That murderers and rapists from your country have illegally entered ours? That is a true statement. Our prisons have thousands from your country locked up for those crimes.
Was it untrue that millions from your country have entered our country illegally?
Sorry if the truth hurts, but it is true none the less. Why is it wrong for the USA to enforce our immigration laws but is right for yours to do so? We all know your agenda. You have made it clear many times. You want open borders between the USA and Mexico. You want an amnesty. Trump is against an amnesty and Hillary would have rubber stamped an amnesty. Be honest... Your entire reason for this thread is that you are disgruntled about Trump's position on immigration. If he was pro amnesty you never would have started this thread. Be honest...

You nailed it! Thank you!

GET IT FOR ONCE.
LOL, thanks for making me laugh first thing in the morning. Now the rest of my day will be great.

Seriously, you're as funny as the three stooges. Too bad they aren't still around, you'd a made a great writer for some of their material.

GET IT FOR ONCE.
The electoral college is not more anti-Democratic than congress, which is to say, it is anti-democratic in the sense that people do not directly vote on policy but they do choose their representatives from their districts or states to vote on their behalf.

This is what the electoral college does. You vote for an elector, who pledges themselves to a candidate ahead of time. That elector will cast one vote, and whichever candidate has the most votes will be president.

There are some flaws in the system. A smaller one is that many states have made it illegal for electors to vote their conscious. No doubt, that would be rare these days, especially since often times electors are just party insiders, but it should still be allowed as that was one reason the electoral college was the system.

The other flaw is quite significant. Each states has voting districts equal to the number of congressmen they have. Each district has it's own election to determine their elector. The current system in nearly every state has a winner take all policy. Imagine a scenario where there are 20 districts, 11 vote (D) and 9 (R). Despite the fact that the (D) candidate barely won, they would get all 20 votes. That should change. We should not abandon the elector college, but we should make reforms to it to allow each community a voice, rather than simply forcing communities to go along with the majority in their state.
