As a black woman, I simply do not understand Bernie Sanders' appeal to black voters. Help me understand.
Republicans have a longstanding disdain for "democracy," instead referring to U.S. as a "republic".
We live in a representative democracy--no question about it.
However, this issue has always puzzled me:
A longstanding talking point from the political right: I notice that they characterize this country as a “Republic” not a democracy.
Do you think they do it because the word “republic” resembles "Republican" while “democracy” resembles Democratic, hence why they always call the Democratic Party the “DemoCRAT” party?
OR...do you think they really have a disdain for democracy?
Note: I understand that a Republic is simply another way of describing a representative democracy; however, it's almost as if the political right hates using the term "democracy".
