What me and @Deleted User are saying is, why should people on welfare who had no education and can be manipulated by social media into chanting in marches be able to vote against their own self interest in an ignorant manner?

Representative republic

Is it just the weed or is this guy genuinely saying this unironically? There is no non-democratic form of republicanism

Constitutional

Their is

The US is a democracy lol

@radeon
He is saying that

Sweden is the patient zero for the Scandinavian countries, let them crash and burn as a warning.

The US is a republic

@DanielKO
Yup

I don't think you actually know the definitions of the words you are using

Although no other country in Scandinavia is going full retard like Sweden

The US by defintion is a constituional represenative republic

The US is both a democracy and a republic. These are not mutually exclusive terms.

they arent exactly the same either

Hell, Several US territories can't participate in politics

No, a republic describes a specific kind of democratic state heirarchy

Britain has a Constitutional monarchy and parliamentary (representative) democracy

>In American English, **the definition of a republic** refers specifically to a form of government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body[2] and exercise power according to the rule of law under a constitution, including separation of powers with an elected head of state, referred to as a constitutional republic[4][5][6][7] or **representative democracy**. [8]

***ELECTED*** officials

Elected by reps

so corporate state now?

Not directly elective

Hail Microsoft?

Hail GM?

The electoral college

Technically, the US could be set up so that the only voters eligible for federal elections are the mayors of towns.

not that I want that

It is still ldirectly democratic it's just that citizens votes are voting to choose the winning candidate for their state and then the states electoral vote is what counts.

If you want to go about splitting semantic hairs, please provide a clear definition of the disagreement, don't just say "you're wrong."

good thing anyone who suggests that would get lynched faster than a negro in the south

That's also only true of presidental elections

so does the majority of the united states decide

or is it weighted

State officials are voted for directly which in the long run is what matters more

hmmmmmmmmmm

i agree

let's bomb other countries guys

And that sucks lol

and spread "freedom"
