| Onibaka said: Of course USA is a Democracy. USA is a Democratic Republic. Accept it. It is a contemporaneous concept. A democracy is not necessarely the same as it was in classic greece. And the Republic part is also not a perfect replica of Roman Republic. I may be wrong but there are probably influences of Enlightenment (the same ideals that culminated in French Revolution) on Constitution and posterior laws. |
True democracies have everyone voting on everything, not elected officials, hence the republic part of our country. True democracies can't run past a few hundred people, because everyone is wanting their own things... oh right, like congress and the senate do now :p Hence the non-passing and blame-gaming of the current failed bi-partisan effort to reduce the debt.
BOOM! FACE KICK!
