It's the same group of dopes who have latched onto the ignorant "we're not a democracy, were a constitutional republic!" who are now arguing that disqualifying candidates that the cotus disqualifies is denying them their right to vote for whom they want.

    Always tell those people that we are a federal presidential constitutional republic or fpcr for short. Then tell them that is a form of democracy.

    I've debated it plenty, it appears they either cannot grasp the difference between a direct democracy and a representative democracy. I've even had plenty try to argue that directly electing the president (effectively a representative for the whole US on the world stage) would make us a democracy and no longer a representative democracy. lol
