I apologize for the offtopic shit... No, it is not the electorate, but 23% of the actual people who voted. If you call that a democracy, I have a bridge for you. Democracy comes from the Greek demos meaning populace or people. So when 40% or 30% of the people who actually voted (aka a minority) decide who is in power, that can not be called demos aka the choice of the voting population. ------------------------------------ I googled "is the USA a democracy?" The first hit is from an official answer from a government website, kinda funny: "The United States is a representative democracy. 1. This means that our government is elected by citizens. 2. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. 3. These officials represent the citizens' ideas and concerns in government." 1. So do people in Russia and North Korea and China, but nobody mistakes them for a democracy. 2. Actually not. You are voting for electors in the presidential race (faithless electors anyone?), and there are plenty of government officials chosen by the president, not by the people. Musk and RFK were never voted on. 3. That is just outright funny. I mean you could say, "some citizens' ideas".
You will never get 100% voting. Why would a 4 year old vote? or mentally handicapped? And choosing not to vote is a feature of democracy as well.
Holy fuck people, learn to read. let's repeat it slower: If a school board with 100 members vote for principal and there are 3 candidates, A,B and C and A getting 70, B getting 25 and C getting 5 votes, but B winning the position anyway, would you call that a democratic process? I mean the principal WAS voted in, therefore it must be democratic, right? Anyhow, I understand this is too advanced for the class, let's just go back to trading...
