The US has never been a democracy. A democracy is three wolves and two sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Socrates was very much against democracy. His point was people, in general, were too ill-informed to make good decisions and that elections would be reduced to popularity contests. I can't say that I disagree with him.

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
