you are correct,..VERY CORRECT.....because democrat forms of government eventfully turn into oligracies, run by the rich elite.
this is able to take place because democratic forms of government have many factious combinations in them, to lobby government and create laws to benefit themselves, at the expense of the people,the states and the union... because the people are easy lead, beguiled and seduced into doing things not in their interest.
which is WHY the founders created a republican form of government, to hinder factious combinations, but the politicians have destroyed with the help of the un-education population....who have been sold the false idea democracy means liberty, which it does not.
