'a state or condition of society in which there is formal equality of rights and privileges'
Democraty
Isn't that literally every liberal country
no
That's the fucking definition
Or founded on liberal principles
a democracy is where you directly vote on laws
Democracy is where the people are allowed to choose on the government
Not necessarily
It has 3 meanings
In the dictionary
Republic is where you elect representatives
a democracy is where the people get to have a vote,
the US is a democratic republic, in which the people vote who represents them in the Republic
Which is why America is not a democracy
It's a constitutional republic
Nobody except Switzerland is a Democraty in the world
Isn't there a country with liquid democracy?
Monaco or something
America is a Constitutional Republic, using the system of Democratic Republics 😉
Switzerland
I have to look it up
it's called direct democracy
Y es
remove the 17th amendment
amend the 17th amendment
ratify the 28th amendment!

'Federal presidential constitutional republic' so yes America is not about Democraty
depends on how far you look,
cuz its a republic in which the candidates are voted on democratically 😉
Where you chose the winner
That's what a republic is
#notmypresident?
