To be fair, our Constitution was created to ensure we were NOT a Democracy

End of democracy? Follow the rules next time, you stupid fucks. That's all they ever do, lie cheat and steal, and they do it so big they dare anybody to have the balls to stop it.

Trump woke a lot of people up man don't feel bad... CNN was a trusted news source for a long time!! Trump exposed how they really run shit and they can not put that back in the box no matter how hard they try!! We know!!! And no matter what happens from here out that will always be true!!!

They say “democracy” but they really just mean “The Democrat Party”. If you change “democracy” with “Democrat Party” in their sentences, all their claims make more sense. Is what President Trump is doing a danger to the Democrat Party? Yep! Could this Election Fraud scandal destroy the Democrat Party? Yep!

They know if they just came on TV and said what they meant then they would look hyper-partisan. So they say “our democracy” instead. It makes them sound more noble.

I am grossly simplifying Plato here, but I like his boat analogy. Pretend you have 100 people that are all going on a long journey together on a ship. None of them have ever been on a ship before. Why do you think it's a good idea to let one of them run the ship, and more importantly, what qualifies a majority of the people to decide who that person should be?

It was also designed to be changeable, but only with a large majority in agreement. Lacking large agreement, nothing should be able to be done using the federal government.

pretty much, yes. And they weren't supposed to be in session all the time either. Was typically only a few months a year

Not a direct democracy. We are, however, a representative democracy.

No, no full stop. It's not correct. We are a Constitutional Republic. The method we choose our representatives is democratic. We don't elect our representatives "republicanly."
