Representative democracies are democracies as well. Everybody voting on everything isn't the only way to organise a democracy.

- sanderjd 8y agoWe've entered pretty pedantic territory now IMO, but I think it's much more useful to consider the US government itself a republic because that's how its day to day operation is conducted. Thinking of it as a democracy leads to questions like the thread starter, for instance about un-democratic committee and leadership structures, which are actually non sequiturs because it's not a democratic system.
