[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3858441, member: 63706"] Democracy is majority rules, it does not involve "compromise". As such, the US really is not a democracy. Republic is where people elect representatives who are supposed to look out for the interests of their constituents, while not being forced to obey the will of the majority. Just because there are a lot of wrong people, doesn't make them any less wrong. Which is why a republic is generally a superior governing model, especially with a system of checks and balances. No system is perfect, though... [/QUOTE]
