Democracy died when in 2000 the Supreme Court led by Scalia and O'Connor halted the recount in Florida and knowingly gave the election to GW Bush. State's rights did not apply when it was going to put Al Gore in the White House.
But it has always been a republic and not a democracy which was by design to protect the rights of those profiting from the slave trade. We saw this in 1944 when the Democratic Party bosses pushed three-term VP Henry S Wallace off the ticket and put their man, Harry Truman, on the ticket in his place. Three months after the election Roosevelt died and Harry Truman became the defacto president of the United States.
The party bosses have keep Bernie Sanders off the ticket despite his having the greatest support in 2008 and 2016 and 2020. Heaven forbid a competent progressive get elected as president. We get to vote for the neoliberals that the party bosses choose to put on the ballots. That is an oligarchy at best.
