Should the U.S. still be considered a democracy at this point?

It sure doesn't feel like one

It never was. It was and still is a republic.

@NorthernBear That is a bullshit distinction since a republic is just a method of implementing democracy.

@NorthernBear Uhm? The people never voted in the U.S., are you sure? Maybe not a "direct democracy" or "full democracy", but for sure it is a democracy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow A Repunlic is any country without a monarchy.

Having said that, their argument is wrong because the USA is also a democracy. Or was or is as supposed to be.

@Burnley123 That is my point. We are talking about a democratic republic not Rome or Venice.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I know. Their argument is ridiculous.
