That’s exactly what New Yorkers voted for. The United States is still a democracy. (Well, mostly.) It’s not like voters didn’t know that de Blasio was a left-wing loon. That’s what they wanted, that’s what they voted for, and that’s what they got.
‘The United States is still a democracy.’
It is actually a republic.
The US is NOT a Democracy, it is a Representative Republic. In a Democracy, the people vote directly for their goodies, in a Representative Republic we elect people who vote for us (or in our case, against us).
