My fellow Americans, I voted.
If you can and you haven't, do it! Even if you think your vote doesn't count, because it does ultimately count. We lose our democracy for real when we refuse to partake in the democratic process.
To me foreign fellows, I didn't vote for the tangerine.
Keep calm and brony on.

Um... I hate to tell you this, but we do not actually live in a democracy. Not, this is not one of those "everything is secretly controlled by the illuminati" theories... it is a simple truth. We actually live in a Republic. The difference is that in a democracy, everyone gets a (theoretically) equal say in what happens, commonly done via popular vote. This works well for small scale affairs, such as a town or a family, or even a small city with today's technology, but does not work so well over vast scales (at least, until recently. When the founding fathers put down the rules for our republic, they did not have a way of instantly sending large amounts of information).
A republic, on the other hand, uses a much smaller group of people to represent a larger one. For the most part, we elect people to make decicions independent of our will. Congressmen and congresswomen vote as they see fit, staying in line with what 'the public' wants only enough to keep their job and power. The electoral college, of course, illustrates the problems with a republic as hillary clinton is ahead by nearly a million votes, but trump still soundly beat her with electoral college votes.
Just my two bits.
4306020 Yes! Yes! Yes! I finally found someone else that understands what the US government system is on this cite. Another thing to note is that a democray answers to the group with the most voices/votes even when there are more against them. And democracy is basically mob rule.... I am not kidding it's mob rule. Not going to say a republic is flawless, but of the two, I will take the republic. Also there is actually nothing wrong with the electoral college, the issue is how people are not being taught about it or the Constitution on it's entirety unless they join something like the NRA...
