America is not a democracy in a strict sense, its a republic. To be precise, modern America is a plutocracy, not democracy.
But did America ever pay reparations for centuries of enslaving its own people? Where is the accountability?
- dredmorbius 2y agoIn the question of degree and comparison, the US (even in its present greatly degraded state) is far more a functioning democracy than Russia.
- KPGv2 2y ago> America is not a democracy in a strict sense, its a republic Most republics are democracies. You seem to think "democracy" is equivalent to "direct democracy," but a direct democracy is only one type of democracy. A republic is another form of democracy. America is certainly a democracy (for now; who knows what will happen in two years)
