Maybe that guy in the end doesn't realize it, but there is a distinct line between a Republic, which is what the US is, and a Democracy.

*facepalm*

You're another one of those people who has no ideea what those two terms mean (and that they're not mutually exclusive, as they refer to different aspects of a state).

A democracy gives full control of the country and its laws and policy to the majority.

A republic guarantees certain fundamental rights regardless of the opinion of the majority.

The USA is a republic.
