This is what ChatGPT thinks of your statement.

The statement appears to be a defense of the idea that the United States is a representative democracy. However, there are several issues with the statement:


1. The statement incorrectly suggests that the apportionment of Representatives is solely based on the population of each state. While population is a major factor, the apportionment formula also takes into account the total number of seats in the House of Representatives (currently set at 435) and requires that each state has at least one Representative.


2. The statement implies that voting for federally elected representatives every two, four, and six years is the only way citizens can participate in a representative democracy. While voting is an important part of a representative democracy, citizens can also engage with their elected officials through other means such as writing letters, attending town hall meetings, and participating in protests and demonstrations.


3. The statement is dismissive and insulting, referring to someone as "deluded" for holding a different opinion. This type of language is not productive and can prevent meaningful dialogue and understanding.


Overall, while the statement may be well-intentioned, it oversimplifies the complex workings of a representative democracy and does not foster a respectful and constructive conversation.
