True.

And the US is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic that employs a bicameral legislative system.

Those who call the US a democracy are not only misinformed and/or ignorant. They deserve to live in a TRUE democracy so they can learn just how awful it ls. Our Founders were wise.

They are maleducated with disinformation. Check some of the prominent online dictionaries.

The word “democracy” was hijacked many years ago so that the U.S. can fit into the definition of a democracy.

Compare them:

They are classified practically the same way.

I cringe every time I hear a Republican refer to our form of government as a “democracy”.

I recall a newscast of one of the 2020 riots, when a scruffy looking moron jumped up in front of the camera and shouted, “This is what democracy looks like!” No doubt he felt most pleased with himself, thinking he had scandalized the poor schmoes watching. But he was right. Mob rule IS what “democracy” looks like, and that is exactly why the Founding Fathers eschewed the idea completely.
