The USA is a "representative Republic" at the highest levels. The only time "every vote counts" is in local and state elections.
It was built with the idea of an improved Roman Republic in mind.
Systems of checks and balances, and representation of the people by the people.
Republic. And I agree with all of the charts and graphs; I think they're accurate.
“He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.”
Benjamin Franklin
I think it's a little bit of both is how I see things but I could be wrong
Who cares about all the romance behind it. What gets results is different at different times. The soviet union saw 10% growth to their gdp for decades. Then they collapsed. Different times call for different governments. Flexibility is key. The us is a republic though.
Don't be confused by the name of the parties. It's a federation. Where I grew up, the ruling party is called the Young Democrats' Alliance, but they are a bunch of old people who stuck with the name from the 90s.
I've noticed it's leftists who wish to destroy our republic who scream the loudest about "democracy".
I think the characteristics given for democracy and republic are theoretic and a bit off the mark. Very few democracies are direct and I can't see that the US constitution has primary authority.
Constitutional Republic is the dictionary definition. The constitution is supposed to last word.
It is a managerial/bureaucratic oligarchy wearing the skin suit of a democratic republic.
I think it’s a marriage of Corpocracy/oligarchy and a Military Dictatorship
Not when you take abortion away from rape victims an for brain dead babies a female has to carry look at money wasted
It claims to be a republic but fails to represent the people, they only represent the rich and powerful and don't give a shit about the people.
A representative democracy, with (allegedly) limited powers.
We are supposed to be a Democracy in which the elite and corrupt have inflicted damages in the form of divided government from both sides.
Any politician that is benefiting themselves Democratic or Republican is guilty of such damages.
We were founded as a Representative Constitutional Republic.
But we are nightmarishly being taken over by Chinese Communism
How?
@Friendlybro79 Secretly and quietly while we are being distracted by other things
@mrkdvsn Tell me more of this boogie man you speak of? Do you have anything concrete in the form of actual proof. This is a serious accusation. Would you mind speaking less cryptically? Enlighten us please.
@Friendlybro79 Yes, this IS a serious accusation, and a serious catastrophe awaiting us all.
Some call it the "end of days" or the "end time". Many understand that the most important thing right now is to get people SAVED/BORN AGAIN
And there it is! Thank you
I'm inclined to believe, based on your pix, that the US of A is a Republic, NOT a Democracy.
“I pledge of allegiance to flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands.
Case closed. The founding fathers even said dozens of times they didn't want mob rule and brainwashed masses
It's a Republic by its very definition.. A Constitutional Republic.
