The fact that CNN actually made a report about this boils my blood. Of course we're not a fricking Democracy. Mob rule is a shitty method of government.

The talking point "America is a republic, not a republic" is the height of NPC idiocy.

We are a democracy and a republic.

I have said this for years to almost universal downvotes. But it is true.

Did our Founders set up a Constitution where citizens voting was a part of that system? If the answer is yes, then we are a democracy.
That's not the point the fricking CNN "journalist" is trying to make. At the end of the day, local groups vote for their representatives. We don't vote as a single collective for anything as a nation.

If you want to see MAGA NPC idiocy, this is the best and easiest example.

Go frick yourself dickwad. You can't say we're a Democracy WITHOUT saying we're a Republic. Saying Democracy without saying we're a Republic is a COMPLETELY different form of government.

Always ask the question why.

Why do theu want a democracy?

They want to dissolve the electoral college and make it majority wins.

“Republican” form of government implies underlying republics with democratic forms of government due to the “constitutional” part of “constitutional republic” which is the proper moniker for the type of government organization that is the USA. The underlying republics (states) could be monarchs but the “constitutional” part disallows that if you want to be part of the union.

They're saying MAGA is stupid and NPCs

This thread has proven that theory largely correct

Democracy

for their representatives.

Republic

The “threat to democracy” is not NPC at all.

No. They intended us to be a Democracy. The reason they left it out is that there is no Democracy in the Federal system. The President is chosen by electoral votes. The states send representatives to the US government, as Senators and House of Representatives, and chooses electors.

The states are democracies. So our system of state and federal government is a democratic republic.

Already answered: to make MAGA look like idiots.

It accomplished its goal. Did you watch the video? They got a Patriot NPC on camera spouting the talking points and couldn't even answer what the difference is

We democratically elect representatives. We are a form of democracy. We aren’t a democracy.

Let me know the last time you voted on a federal bill.

I watched right up to that point and said, out loud, "Know your shite." It's insulting and divisionist to label Americans who know we are a Republic "conspiracy theorists."
