It can't get any clearer than that.

A democracy is a government that is elected by the people.

I don't think I live in the "Government"

Although some of you have your heads so far up their ass a case can be made, maybe BeanBrain is right?
So, our government isn't popularly elected? Who knew?

Moran!

When one person is talking about land mass surounded by borders that you can live in. The Republic of The United States of America

The other argument is talking about a government that you can't live in

The argument should be ended at the statment "We live in a Democracy"

Again, only if someone died and made you king of the English language.

Funny

Win what? I'm on a troll infested left winged zellot website which you all would like to stay that way at all cost necessary.

If I present something truthful and it goes against your ideology, I'm the enemy regardless if I'm correct.

True or false wins nothing around here with your popularity contest of immaturity and failure to communicate truth.

Propaganda is the only goal you all want to spread.

I kinda feel sorry for some of you all living in shuch negitivity.

Not me but you can go to this page and read it as it's not hard for you to even understand and a short read. Please do tell me if you see the word Democracy anywhere on that page.

As far as your semantics failer to admit I'm right, and just being an antagonist I gues we're done here.

The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic.

I thought it was a 'Constitutional Republic"? Or maybe it's an "Autonomous Collective"? Or maybe it's an "Narco-Syndicalist Commune"?

Last time I checked a society wherein the citizenry has the right to elect officials, coupled with the right to free speech and assembly is..........what, Folks? Sure look like Democratic principles to me.

4-2-7.........What is it with you and this disdain for Democracy? What? Do you hate the idea that the American people have the right to choose their leaders? Corporate Dictatorship is more appealing to you?

Why?

No, the things you write fly in the face of the real world that we live in, which can't be sourced from any internet page. You have to actually climb out of your bunker and live in it. It's really not so bad out here. You should gather up the courage to experience it, sometime.

Not at all Dave I like Dimocracy.

But when you have an idiot that thinks they know everything and belittling others because they feel supirior then I'll stick it to them.

That said we live in a Republic governed by Democracy.

Notice, days later, with plenty of time for the world to provide him with easy links to said URL and minute marker, he's still not provided the info asked for.
