       @DavidB but it still masquerades as something democratic with a constitution

       @7073M yes, masquerades. The way I see it the founding fathers were oligarchs and they gave us a republic. A republic differing from a democracy because only some of us could vote and only vote for a congress men. At the federal level.The republic is gone as of 1913 and we are now a socialist country run by oligarchs.

       @DavidB that's why i put democracy in quotations but when i try and pin a date to when the republic died i find that the death knells began not long after the founding 1913 is probably accurate and we could still do something about it for a while even decades after the nfa but a country is more than land
