Each one of us in our way has an uniqueness, because of how we think

School and college give you information, but we process it in our own way. It's why there are so many opinions. It's what politicians don't understand as they try in their subtle way to browbeat us into following their lead, but they can never represent us! They need to accept this and debate with their electorate more, consult with us if they are going to say we are a democracy.

The government of the United States of America is a constitutional federal republic. It functions as a democracy and a republic because citizens elect individuals to represent them, and a majority vote determines laws.

@carpediem That's the standard pattern, but do they actually do what we ask them to do? Or do they look for higher paying masters?

@LaParisienne If you're referring to corrupt politicians, I'm with you. The system has been altered to accept outside influence. Thank McCain-Feingold
