America is a republic, the offices of state are not hereditary. It is also a democracy because the legislators are elected. The two are far from mutually exclusive terms.
As for the poll, I'd support Democrats over the Republicans. They're no less incompetent than the Republicans but I generally agree with their ideals a lot more - especially as far as social policy goes. They're actually sometimes pretty close to being a social democratic party (not that they'd ever admit it). |
yeah i know us is republic,doesn't mean it will stay one
republic incorporates democracy as it elects but it does it in
democracy on the other is majority wins kind of thing
