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. |
i was just about to say this.
also its unfortunate that their trainers havent taught these parots any new lines. they always just regurgatate the same thing over and over again, most of them probably dont even know why they are on wallstreet right now

Republic and democracy describe different aspects of government. Being a republic simply means your are not a monarchy, being a democracy means that your government is elected. America is both a republic and a democracy.

This! I don't see why people find this distinction so hard to grasp. Granted, I could see why conservatives in the US (who are part of the REPUBLICan party) would have in interest in such intellectual dishonesty (their opponent is the DEMOCRAT party, and I assume this sillyness gives them the illusion that they're more 'legit').
