It’s also why they refuse to call the Democratic Party by its true name
I doubt that most of them consciously refuse. I think they don’t know any better. Sheer ignorance.

Yes. However, saying we are "A Democracy" can be misunderstood. Saying we are a Democratic Republic, or a Constitutional Republic (same things) cannot.
We are not just "a democracy" we are more accurately described using more accurate terms. Pretending that they are "dumb" because they more accurately state what we are while you are somehow the subject matter expert and you try to pretend that they are wrong is just you trying to make yourself feel better.
Most of the time someone talks about this and makes it clear what they are talking about is when someone like Desh pretends that it is an "old term" or that it somehow changed but insists that Hillary should be President because she doesn't like the representative system that we use to elect Presidents. They are noting that we are not a simple democracy, and because of this the results are not what you get when you add up the results of 51 elections, and that it is stupid to pretend that we are a simple democracy during elections where the results are not to your liking but would be if we were a simple democracy.
Where did you come up with that fiction?
Food Service is absolutely part of the hospitality industry.
In differing times in the past I would have been a Republican you idiot
It’s not the fucking labels idiot
ITS THE IDEAS
Most black voters were Republicans in the past
MLK was a Republican
Then the assholes who took over your party changed it into the racist party in 1968
And you love that
No retard, you would not have.
In the early days you would have been a Monarchist - the crown (state) caring for all under the wise rule of the government.
Idiot.
MLK Jr. was a registered democrat and an open Communist. His father was a Republican.
ROFL
Still trying to sell the big lie? No one is buying.
You scum never changed.
In 1968, the South was majority democrat, and extremely racist.
By 1980, the South was majority Republican, and no longer racist.
There is a connection, but you're far too stupid to grasp it. You filth remain the party of racism. That you changed your victim from black to white changes nothing. You vermin need a scapegoat.
Where is this coming from? Steve Bannon, or Q, or some other Right Wing rag?
DO they hate Democracy because they are losing?

"capitalism and democracy are ascendant in the third world"
We should have all learned in 6th Grade we are a Constitutional Representative Democracy, a form of Republic. We are not a direct Democracy, such a thing has never existed on any large scale.
They hate democracy. What do expect from people who worship Trump.
How are Democrats advocating communism?
Economy is in good shape.
Democracy isn't working anymore for Republicans, and particularly Trump.
The demographics are trending in a way that is no longer advantageous for them. They will be anti-democracy going forward. And they will eventually want to move away from elections, unless they can restrict voting significantly.
Even if that were true, that would not be communism. Did you go to the 6th Grade?
Trump people just are not smart.
THey do not trust the will of the people or the ideals of the founding fathers.
There is a reason Bannon, Hannity, Beck and Carlson all want to wipe out the word Democracy from our national identity.
It's fascism 101, you act like the country is shit (because of brown people) and the only way to fix it is to dump a bunch of uncheckable power on to one man (let's be real here, fascists would never choose a woman). Democracy gets in the way of that.
What prompts this pomposity, that I corrected your error that states are sovereign? Do you know what the word means? It means, for example, the State of New York could declare war on Alabama and drop bombs on it. Maybe not a completely bad idea but obviously even to you I hope a completely unempowered one.

The name changes, not the philosophy.
Dems then were racist conservatives. Republicans were the progressives. Fast forward to the present, the roles reverse.
Today, you fucks, whatever the Republican Party has become, are the racist conservatives.
We are not a democracy.
We are a Constitutional Republic that utilizes democratic means for choosing representatives. A Constitutional Republic that had representatives appointed by a ruling council could also exist, so the is no synergy between the phrases.
The use of democratic elections does not render us a democracy.
