Democracy

 "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." ~ H L Mencken, July 26, 1920

The United States Congress first organized in 1789, is an elected bicameral democratic legislative body established by Article I of the United States Constitution, ratified in 1788.

Anytime someone comment's says "Democracy" someone points out that "we are not a Democracy, we are a Republic." Than another points out "we are a democratic republic." 

I equate democracy with freedom/liberty. Most of us do not want a dictatorship, we want democratic elections; the illusion that we are in charge of who rules us.
