Which is a form of democracy. This is a nonsense take that somehow appears on any thread related to the US's status as a democracy. I guess Canada isn't a democracy either, it's a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Oh and I guess Germany isn't either, it's federal parliamentary republic.

> Which is a form of democracy That does not mean anything. A republic has more stability because of (typically) a constitution which guarantees principles, whereas a democracy can turn into "whatever the current majority decides". A democracy can easily turn into a dictatorship or at least an authoritarian regime just through voting. A republic, much less likely without a bloody revolution.
