We are a constitutional democratic republic. We are a republic comprised of a union of various states. The citizens of MA cannot vote for MI representatives. Those representatives do not represent a unitary We. The only elected official of the unitary We is the President. And the electoral college in each state, who the citizens did not directly elect as such, cast the formal vote for President.
The historical objective of Progressives is the nullification of the constitutional and republic parts, recognizing, according to their scholars, that the Constitution once served a purpose but now is an impediment to the unitary We democracy they wish to replace it with.
I have asked the members on this forum several times if they think the states are necessary. No answer. Do you think it would be better if we had a fully unitary democracy? And do you agree with the Progressive notion that who we vote for should not be hampered by checks and balances or limited to a few "enumerated" powers?
