“If Bernie becomes president, then we need to stop calling America a republic. That would be a lie.”

It stopped being a republic in fact a long time ago. Anyway most people call it a democracy and have for a long time, most people have no inkling of the difference between a democracy and a republic.

Where exactly do we stand? We’re not exactly a dictatorship; we still have free elections. Yet we have two major parties who take turns being in power. So do we really have free choices in elections? I wonder about these things sometimes.
