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~

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

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

Unless you're authorized.

You still need to explain to me why it's wrong

And you're right in this case

posting the same article over and over doesn't make it more relevant to the conversation

in the case of the US being a direct democracy?

And why all the sources at the bottom are wrong and you, with none are right?

we literally arent thats how
