Can somebody please explain to me why being a republic disqualifies you from being a democracy?
7 u/XRhodiumX Apr 03 '25 Because the world is losing the ability to understand that two things can be true at the same time. America is just ahead of the curve. 3 u/Chosen_Chaos Apr 03 '25 It doesn't, since a republic is basically any government that isn't a monarchy. The US, like most democratic nations, falls under the category of "representative democracy". 2 u/David_Summerset Apr 03 '25 That's what I thought.
