if carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen, then how are we still able to breath oxygen if it is supposed to be displaced by the carbon dioxide that we are supposedly emitting?

oxygen makes up about 21% of the atmosphere
CO2 makes up about %0.05
shit is also constantly mixing

By flexing our diaphragms and forcing it out instead of just letting the heavier air dominate the internal organs.

The atmosphere undergoes constant mixing due to human/animal activities, and it gets mixed enough to prevent suffocation. In certain places like stagnant caves the CO2 actually does settle to the bottom, and it becomes a death pit.

Look up Lake Nyos for an explanation to your point, while simultaneously taking the facts these gentlemen have shared as information to why it doesn't happen in the same concentration globally.

Also, algae and plants release oxygen, winds mix air, mountains inhibit dense air flow.. CO2 doesn't settle instantly because of the size of the (medium {Earth}) it's being stirred in. Imagine a snowglobe the size of earth constantly shaking on its own... The mix doesn't settle quickly
