'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?
