NickName asked:

We the voters get to vote in the primary which canidates will represent their party. However, who decides which canidates get to be in the primary in the first place. How come the “people” don’t get to vote for that?

Looking back to the Revolution, our Founding Fathers did not want our nation to be the democracy it has become, but a republic. Today, it almost seems republic and democracy are used interchangeably, but in the Revolutionary context, what are the actual differences?

I believe that the US is a democratic republic (correct me if I’m wrong), and I need to know how that is different from a regular democracy (like in terms of voting and voters rights and qualifications and general laws and rules).

Thanks!

Hypothetically speaking…

If all the delegates should choose a particular candidate either Republican or Democrat, what would be the point of caucusing? To be more specific, what if the delegates and super delegates have already made up their minds - not necessarily casting their vote - what will be use of the popular vote? Are they even legally bound to take the popular vote into consideration?

What are your opinions on thin democracy and living democracy and which one do you believe is better for America?

Thin democracy is - set system: elected government plus market economy. may have to keep cleaning it up around the edges, but our democracy is basically complete- its culmination of human history.

Living Democracy is - a set of system qualities that shape daily life. ts vales of inclusion, fairness, and mutual accountability infuse not only political life but economics an cultural life as well. Living democracy is always evolving; its never finished.

maddi asked:

My question as stated above is how does religion and democracy play a role in the United States today. What I mean by this is how do they go “hand in hand” and make an effect on society today? One example I have is by the first ammendent. Freedom of religion, democracy is what gives us the freedom of religion. If you can think of any other topics on this subject that would be great.
