Oddly on this Biden is correct. A pure democracy is not good as it has the seeds of destruction built into the political structure of “MOB RULE” by the majority at the expense of the minority. Pure democracy always fails.

That is why we are a democratic republic of individual states. It should be noted that the increasing power of the Federal Government over individual states leads us to a pure democracy which always fails.

The ancient Athenians couldn’t even manage pure democracy in a city state where everyone knew each other. It degenerated into demagoguery and civil war with Sparta, followed by invasion and destruction at the hands of the erstwhile-vanquished Persians.

“Oddly on this Biden is correct.”

Only by mistake.

“Mr. Biden - The USA is a republic.”

“C’mon man. Republic!!?? Them places in Africa like The Republic of the Congo and Georgia are. America is a democracy!”
