United States isn't a democracy. It's a republic
- mwfunk 10y agoDemocratic republics are forms of democracy.
- vkou 10y agoA republic is a country that is not governed by a king or queen. Russia is a republic. China is a republic. Canada is not a republic. Japan is not a republic. Describing a form of government as a republic is almost entirely meaningless. It's a split-hair thought-stopper that adds nothing to the conversation.
