| Adinnieken said: The United States is not a democracy, we are a republic. We may be a democratic nation, but we are not a democracy and we never were nor did the founding fathers ever intend for the United States to be a democracy. |
The US is a Democracy AND a Republic. These are not mutually exclusive terms. In other words; the implication that the US cannot be a democracy because it is a republic follows the same logic as saying that something cannot be a bus ibecause it is coloured green; neither statement is logically coherent.
Republics are countries whose head of states are not Monarchs.
Democracy is a system where eligible citizens have equal votes to elect the government.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
