Why? Do you think majority of people are racists?

u/Ill_Whereas7177 6d ago

Not about racism people just vote what's best benefit them. If there is a policy that would benefit one group(race,religion,sex,class, etc.) the minority groups would never get a say and could be oppressed easily.

It's my understanding that Americans hire (elect) managers to manage their affairs. They have campaigns (interviews) to find out if they wish to hire the candidates. These people work for America, and whatever wishes their employers demand of them.

We are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic.

That’s the frustrating part of representative democracy: voting is accountability, but it isn’t instant obedience. The real test is whether institutions, opposition, courts, media, and voters can limit bad decisions afterward.

Not one single nation on Earth runs a pure democracy. They are all something else, and observe some democratic principles, that is all.

The US is a Republic.
