Well if you're going to be pedantic than so am I. The US is a "representative democracy" in that we collectively vote on those people who make decisions, the idea being that average citizen is a better judge of character than of policy.
So yeah, still technically a democracy, just not a direct democracy.
- rosser 13y agoIt's not pedantry. Calling this country a "Democracy" suggests that the citizenry has the power. We don't.
- trippy_biscuits 13y agoWe said the following in grade school on a daily basis, long ago. "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Finding democracy is an exercise left to the reader.
