Two reasons why democrats hate using the word Republic when identifying America's political system.

[bigrebnc1775]

If you don't like American democracy, you don't have to.

I want you to show me the word democracy in the constitution that describes America as a democracy? And a republic is not a democracy

 

[bigrebnc1775]

One thing is clear.

Democratic elections can be very upsetting for losers who can't handle losing.

Republic institution

 

[bigrebnc1775]

The majority sets policy. If they go beyond the Constitution then the SCOTUS steps in.

The minority should NOT be setting policy

In a democracy you leftists would never had gotten a foothold in America. Most would have been tarred and feathered In the late 1800s

 

[Winco]

So much stupid is right
A Republic is governed by a constitution or charter try again

Then WHY have we had Amendments to our Constitution?

Because the majority wanted something new......

We are not a democratic any thing. We are a Republic governed by a Constitution that protects individual rights. A democracy doesn't do that if the majority of the people says they don't want that

Because we are a republic you idiot
And that last shit write makes no sense

 

[Captain Caveman]

Democrats always say we are a democracy which we are not. Because a Republic is a representative Government governed by a charter or Constitution. And in a democracy it is a form of government governed by the will of the majority.
Just my opinion but, the first reason is the word Republic is to close to Republican.
Second reason in a Republic it's ruled by the Constitution which democrats appear to hate unless they can use it to their advantage.

A Republic means, your head of state is a President and not a Monarch. America also has representative democracy. So if you want to get finicky, America is a Republic with Representative Democracy.

How very unamerican of you Brit.
America is not a democracy
While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.

The minority can't set policy, so we're good there. But we've eroded much of the Constitution's ability to limit government. In truth, that's behind half the issues we discuss here.

Correct, America is a Republic with Representative Democracy.

You vote for someone to REPRESENT you in the Senate. Hence, Representative Democracy. A democracy allows people to vote and form laws, do you think you can get every voting American into the Senate? Fuck no. So you vote for someone to represent you.

You haven't a fucking clue about politics, have you !!

[Marener]

Funny shit their misinformed leftists. America is a Republic it is not democratic anything. The word democratic cannot be found anywhere in America's constitution

All elections are democratic. By definition.

 

[Marener]

Shit for brains I want to see hard facts and not something from what a leftist educator taught you. Where is the word democracy or democratic in the constitution?

The original constitution wasn’t very democratic. That’s a fact.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

The original constitution wasn’t very democratic. That’s a fact.

It is a republic that's a fact

I am telling you America is a republic it's not a democracy it's an elected representative
And according to the U.S. Government it's a Constitutional Federal Republic
A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.

Correct, America is a republic with representative democracy.

If you elect representatives by voting, it's called, "REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY".

Full on direct democracy is, everyone gets to go onto the Senate/Parliamentary floor. Everyone can't fit in, so the people get to vote for a representative. Now in Switzerland, they have representative democracy, but they have also a more direct democracy because the people vote on specific legislation via referendums.

Now your head of state can be a president or monarch. The US has Biden, and the UK now has King Charles, but in both countries, the people vote representatives in government.

Why are Americans so retarded on basic political terminology?????

Was it? Seems like the political power wasn’t really held by the people, was it.

The United States is a democratic republic. Not all republics are.

• Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch."
• Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."

The United States Constitution does not describe the United States as an area occupying a land mass in North America, yet it is.

If you don't like the United States, or other democratic forms of government, you don't have to.

Jefferson’s most fundamental political belief was an “absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority.” He believed that the will of the people, expressed through elections, provided the most appropriate guidance for directing the republic’s course.​
