Is the U.S. a democracy? Yes or No?
For someone who types a lot of words, you certainly don't understand them so well.
I've definitively answered this already in post #155.
And before you start typing, I don't give one hair off the anal wart on your arse what any other poster has said.
My issue is with you mischaracterizing our country, which is a Republic.
You know, the noun placed on all the important founding documents and our history books.
For the slow, dimwitted retard, allow a simpler analogy.
Brownies contain chocolate, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, cacao.
Are brownies butter?
Are brownies eggs?
Are brownies salt?
Are brownies vanilla extract?
Are brownies cacao?
Are brownies sugar?
Are brownies chocolate?
The answer is definitively NO to each of the above seven questions.
These things combined together make up brownies, thus, brownies have the principles/characteristics of these ingredients but are not one of these ingredients.
Our Republic has democratic principles, as you stated in post #157.
It is a part/principle/characteristic of our Republic, but it is not our Republic.
