Dictatorship. Hands down! Make China seem free!
I don’t think it’s a Republikkk, because now it seems quite different from what the Founding Fathers wanted, and can’t be a Demokkkracy, as many people don’t get what they need.
In the mean time, Lincoln, a REPUBLICAN, freed the slaves!
@FunkyMonkee Lincoln wanted it to be like in the times of Jim Crow Laws. Slavery, no, but treated them like second-class, yes.
Oooookay, sure!
We are a democratically elected represntative republic.
To be more specific, the US is a democratic republic of several states.
The US is a slaveocracy disguised as a republic, the electoral college is ruled by a bunch of treacherous southern dixiepublicans who are mad they lost their slaves.
Pretty sure experts agree its a republic, in that representatives are supposed to do our bidding.
But I think oligarchy is more in line…if your metric is who benefits.
I always assumed it was a democratic republic. Their Presidents always used to bang on about spreading democracy to other countries that didn't even want it.
It has features that come from both. So you can't say that it's only a democracy or only a republic. Search online for more details.
It's supposed to be a republic, but it's effectively a corporate oligarchy.
It's complicated...
Republic. Its set up exactly like the olde roman Republic
Republic
Right now it seems the minority likes to overrule the majority
It's a republic because it's a republic. There is no question about that.
The definition seem exactly the same to me.
We could only be a democracy if we had all voted on every choice. Seeing as you did not vote on whether or not to send billions in aid to the Ukraine. We are clearly not a democracy.
Which lines up well with what the Constitution says and the people who wrote and ratified it said.
@monorprise No democracy in the world consists of everyone voting on everything. You vote for your representatives in government, and any referenda that the government cares to organize.
@AngryCarl That may be a modern definition of democracy but it is not the definition, certainly not in comparison with a Republic.
Certainty the biggest difference is a democracy doesn't have rules or limits on what can be voted on, and uses representatives as agents to both enforce and have enforced against via the requirement to cooperate.
Democrats have taken it from a Democracy to a tirantial government it's our way or DOJ, FBI and 36,000 IRS agents coming after you
Seems democratic but supposed to be republican and hopefully gets back to that
republic... for now till dems get their way if we dont wake up!!
it’s an oligarchy disguised as a republic
I'm inclined to believe that!
Republic , not a democracy
we are a democratic republic.
