Voting doesn't not equal democracy it equals democratic

Representative government is the same as a democracy. That's why there's the term representative democracy.
Nathan James 123... Remember the comparison to Welfare to Socialism? That is what you are doing right now with this~
Whew boy
America is a Constitutional Republic
Why is everywhere saying you're a democracy?
Are they all lying?
They don't understand our system of Government
Oh, so they're all wrong?
And you're right.
If it were a Democracy, everything the Senate or House votes on would automatically become law
"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."
What about Wikipedia?

Wikipedia doesn't agree with you
They wouldn't require the other steps and Nuances that our Government
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
