Why does it say that the USA is a democracy in here as well?
🤔
"Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.[3] As with many large systems, US governance is incompletely described by any single term. It also employs the concept, for instance, of a constitutional democracy in which a court system is involved in matters of jurisprudence.[3]"
All of which you vote for. @W1NT3R1SC0MING
just because we have certain democratic processes does not make us a complete democracy
Hence. A democracy.
"complete democracy"
A good current example
Changing the goalposts.
I've not said that.

You're moving the goalposts <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
i'm not even sure what complete democracy is supposed to mean
I'd assume direct democracy @Death in June
Marijuana is illegal Federally, however, certain states have made it legal
we vote on representatives, not specific policies. which depending who you ask is either the correct or incorrect way to go about it
"Presidential Democracy is a system where the public elects the president through free and fair elections."

"Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία dēmokratía, literally "rule by people") is a form of government in which the people have the power to choose their governing legislature."
Yes.
Yes it does. @Omar_The_OMAP
Glad we agree.
here you are.
If you want to read some more.
You can do so right here.
You can look at examples
They list them nicely in here 🙂
is this cretin actually positing that merely because we have the ability and right to vote on who holds office, we're automatically getting abolutely everything we want out of that vote?
yes
because broken campaign promises don't exist
because elected representatives totally don't just go and make their own decisions when in office
