It’s a republic .
- epistasis 8mo agoIt's a republic and a democracy, but every person I've heard say "it's a republic" erroneously believes that the US is not a democracy, and that republics can't be a democracy, because somebody told them that once and they liked the sound of it without ever checking it. So, who's mincing words?
