The United States is not a democracy, it is a republic. Democracy is mob rule and is something the founding fathers were very much against.

- balding_n_tired 17y agoOchlocracy is mob rule. As for democracy, it depends very much on which founding father you choose..
- rgrieselhuber 17y agoThat's funny, because the countries highest on the Democracy Index seem anything but governed by mob rule. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index
- yummyfajitas 17y agoThe democracy index does not measure democracy. It measures a weighted average of electoral process/pluralism, civil liberties, functioning of government, political participation and political culture. A true measure of how democratic a nation is would exclude civil liberties, functioning of government and political culture.
