We're doing alright, no concentration camps in sight. Why are Republicans so determined to prove themselves stupid whenever they see an Australian?

I'm actually traveling at the moment. We simply don't have concentration camps.

So then, if it's not a Democracy, why do you seem so up in arms about Joe Biden being "selected"?
0 ups, 3y
Who said I was up in arms? Read the constitution it says we are a republic: The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government.

Your ignorance of the difference between a Republic form of government, which is what the U.S. has, and a pure Democracy is why civics needs to be taught in school.

In a democracy the power is with the majority, in a republic the individuals rights are protected from the majority by the constitution and checks and balances.

Yes, but not A democracy, like your comment implies. A republic is a separate but similar form of government.

This isn't disputed or up for debate, it's just Republicans denying reality. Same for CRT, the election, vaccines and covid.

Yes. It is undisputed that a republic is not a democracy.

Republic does mean no monarch. But there is a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY, which the US is. He's partially right.

Partially. The US is an indirect representative democracy, not a direct democracy like he seems to think.
