A democracy as I explained is two wolves and one sheep voting over what's for lunch. A Republic is that one sheep armed defending his vote.

No matter how much you stick your fingers in your ears and go 'na na na na", a republic will still be a form of democracy

The whole point of "rights" that they are protected from the majority. Instead of "The minority only have the rights the majority says they have", we've gone with "the minority have rights under the Constitution, regardless of what the majority says".

That was the point I was trying to make. Rights are protected in a Republic.

Democracy is just a tool for making decisions as a group. The real question is - which decisions should be made as a group, and which should be left to individuals.

I know why democrats hate using the word Republic because it closely resembles the word Republican and they believe it's means Republican party. democracy on the other hand closely resembles democrat.

Yes, because that was the form of democracy that was chosen for our country

you are correct it is not there.

That in no way impacts the fact that a Republic is a form of democracy.

I suspect that for many people, on both sides, it's about as stupid as that.

A Republic is a form of democracy

Thats like saying a socialist is a fascist, simply because they are authoritarian.
Our Founders seemed to have noted the difference. Why dont you?

What on earth are you on about. America is a democracy.

A Republic doesn't have a Monarchy, so rather than have a King or Queen as head of state, it elects a president as head of state. A direct democracy is where the people make laws and a representative democracy is where the people elect others to represent them to make laws.

Did you not know what a republic and a democracy were??

They are literally 2 different things.
