Right logic, wrong semantics

Sinema defends filibuster, sparking progressive fury
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) is sparking a new round of progressive fury with her defense this week of the legislative filibuster.

Sinema, speaking to reporters alongside GOP Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) in Arizona, indicated that she hadn't shifted from her opposition to changing the Senate's rules, arguing that it "protects the democracy of our nat
ion rather than allowing our country to ricochet wildly every two to four years."

Everything correct except we are not a democracy, that is the catch, we are a republic.  Yes government swings and cause recessionary cycles, usually about every eight years.
