"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
"The United States is not a Direct Democracy"

yeah it relies mainly on representative democracy
oh for fucks sake, not this shit again. We're both
Agreed, and? @Omar_The_OMAP
Communism is a form of Socialism~
a republic and a democracy, the two are not mutually exclusive
Agreed, and? @Wayward Lone
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy This says otherwise. @Jokerfaic
Weird.
We are not exclusively one
we're not a "direct democracy" that doesn't give one leave to just say "we're not a democracy"
Good so Socialism/Communism all falls into shit ^_-
Cause generalization.
i mean i think the term "a democracy" is silly
fuck your editable documents and fuck you.
because it implies that the demos is in charge
People use the term Democracy when talking about the US because they want everyone to forget about the Judiciary and the Executive have equal power to the Congress so they can bypass Constitutional protections. The only way to describe the US Government is a Republic which implies it is Democratic.
We are a representative democracy and constitutional republic. Both. not either-or
i shouldve clarified that i meant direct democracy earlier too.
kinda just forgot
Anyone with enough wrinkles could figure that out @W1NT3R1SC0MING
well clearly we are lacking in wrinkles
The Democracy wikipedia page is locked.
It can't be edited
