  > The USA is not a democracy. The USA is a larger republic of a union of republics. "The USA is a democracy" is a perfectly valid and correct statement. "No, it's a republic" is kind of a nonsensical retort, and I'm not sure how it got so popular. There literally are no democracies which do not have representative elements, and "constitutional republic" and "constitutional monarchy" are concepts that are both perfectly compatible with the separate concept of democracy.

  > The USA is not a democracy. The USA is a larger republic of a union of republics. Democracy is a system for choosing government representation, republic is a "res publica" or a "thing of the people" where political power is bestowed upon the people by representatives, they are two sides of keeping a democratic republic. If the USA isn't democratic but a republic then you don't select your representatives through voting, you can have representatives selected for you, and I don't believe that's the current system of government selection in place, is it?
