This is dangerous to our democracy

I guess people in the media must have skipped civics class. Probably flunked history too. We live in a constitutional republic not a democracy. It was actually a shock to me when I found out that we were not a democracy. I was told that we were from the time I was a child. So it is no wonder that many believe that it is a democracy. But that is something we need to change. The way our country runs now, if that's a democracy, then I would rather live in a cave rather than under their rule
