You not understanding basic concepts like what a democracy is does not mean you "clapped" anything except the side of the short bus.
I mean literally type "Is america a democracy?" into google then spend 5 minutes reading if you are even capable of that and a lot more intelligent people than you will explain to you that it is in fact a democracy AND a republic.
Democracy:
: A government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections

Your cheeks just got clapped by a dictionary, try reading one some time.

Great you must be a smart alec that when asked what kind of restaurant you just been you reply with generic "one where they serve food."

Sure it has democratic processes but it's more complicated then just vote +50%. Just like Australia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy with weisminister style government you have to be more specific when talking about a certain country.


There your both of your cheeks are now clapped girl.

No, nothing you just said refuted the fact that america is a democracy.
You can say a chicken has feathers and a beak and claws but its still a chicken, the only thing you clap is to wheels on the bus as it takes you to school wearing your little helmet.

Rofl you literally clapped yourself with that statement. When we talk about America we refer to a bald eagle not a duck. A specific and unique government system. Democracy is a generic term that is used to describe elements of a government.

According to NPC comrade here then Democratic People's Republic of Korea is also a democracy and just because has a Republic must also mean its the same government as US. I am Plaguefear and I am doing my part hur dur.

Tripple clap.

Inb4 well Ackhchyually, technically

It was set up as a Constitutional Republic. Democracy at the Federal level was virtually non existent. "The People" had no vote on the senate, President, or Vice President. Only the House of Representatives involved a popular vote at the federal level. Senators were selected by State houses, and the House and Senate elected President and Vice President.

Our current system is a perversion of the system established by our founders, and allowed a much higher impact regarding mob rule, the ultimate tyranny, than was ever intended.

Once again, you don't know our history, or our political system. Feel free to discontinue your attempts to lecture us on it. :)

Democracy is a generic term


No. You idiot

Democracy is a literal translation from ancient greek of power, people

It literally translates to a very specific meaning. Power to the people.

just because they use the word democracy doesnt mean they are a democracy thats just them saying that so fucking idiot plebs like you go 'well its called a democracy so it must be true'.

Woosh.

This is what happens when rands jump in 1/2 way into conversation. Re read it again and in its entirety.

Democracy is an umbrella term that was used by the Greek philosophers in brief, the classical theory that democracy is the rule of the people, and that the people have a right to rule. Or a direct democracy

Since then the notion of democracy has expanded and morphed considerably there are now many types and variations to the point you almost can't call it a democracy any more. It's ever changing and evolving. Stating a country is a democracy is vague and generic not to mention lazy way to describe it. Just like saying all Asians look alike or maybe in your case all black people are the same
