>>>”The US isn’t a democracy,”<<<

Dan Rather aside, why do you think the US isn’t a democracy?

A democracy means:

“a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.”

General Democratic Principles:

“legal equality, political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and rule of law have been identified as important characteristics. These principles are reflected in all eligible citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to legislative processes.”

Is the US a Federal (Democratic) Republic, or an Authoritarian Republic?

Well, he didn't really mean 'democracy'. He meant 'a threat to our illegal power structure'. Democracy is just easier to say.
