We won't know how legit the Russian elections are until the leading challengers to Putin stop jumping out of top floor windows.

We have more to fear from internal Marxism than Russia. And yes, NATO is a scam. Get out of it.

At this point, we need to stop criticizing other countries elections and fix our own.

I wonder if you have ever get tired of repeating MAGA talking points. You don't realize how wrong you are, a constitutional republic is a type of democracy. It is not a pure democracy as that doesn't exist in the real world, but it falls under the umbrella of a democracy.

This right wing talking point just makes people look uneducated and prove they have no idea what they are talking about.

Because more and more people are equating a democracy as being cradle to grave government care.

Maybe the ratings reflect the widespread understanding now that 2020 was a stolen election. Thats pretty undemocratic.

Our "freedom" is certainly debatable, but we aren't a democracy and that much is absolute fact.

The fact that the "we are not a democracy" post is polling at 48 upvotes and 3 downvotes is one more example of how our school systems are failing.

The United State is a representative democracy.

Where some people come up with this shite, I have no idea.

Sounds like we’re doing a good job of not being what we aren’t. A democracy

I can't tell if you're arguing that the United States is or isn't a democracy. Or if you're just having fun with semantics. But just in case you're arguing that it isn't, I'm not engaging, because anyone who claims the United States isn't a democracy isn't worth arguing with and is lacking chromosomes.

'Democracy' , 'Democratic' do not appear in the US Constitution or the Dec. of Independence.

Because the Founders didn't WANT to be a democracy.
