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.

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.

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

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

Republic

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

So why is CNN making a deal out of this? Answer that.

The founders left it out because they specifically did not want a democracy. Because they knew that would mean mob rule.
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.
