representative govt is democracy @W1NT3R1SC0MING

Representative government is the same as a democracy. That's why there's the term representative democracy.

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

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

"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?

Is that wrong as well?

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

Hence. A democracy.

"complete democracy"

A good current example

Changing the goalposts.

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."

HOLD ON A MINUTE
