Two reasons why democrats hate using the word Republic when identifying America's political system.

[Curried Goats]

And proved yourself wrong in the process
A republic is governed by a constitution a democracy is governed by the will of the majority.
Written Law vs Mob Rule

Crying about words you don't understand isn't going to stop us from demographically replacing you and politically neutering you in the process. All of which is constitutionally protected.

[George] Thomas [the Wohlford Professor of American Political Institutions at Claremont McKenna College] says the American experiment has been about harmonizing democratic and republican models, two "popular forms of government," each of which "drew its legitimacy from the people and depended on rule by the people."​

​

The essential difference was the role of representatives to substitute for the gathering of all the people at one point in time and space.​

​

"To take this as a rejection of democracy misses how the idea of government by the people, including both a democracy and a republic, was understood when the Constitution was drafted and ratified," Thomas said. "It misses, too, how we understand the idea of democracy today."​

You sound like a pissy White dude when you spout your political prejudices in your need to denigrate those who do not kowtow to Trumpery.

The Loser argued that his losing the 2016 election "allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."

If the Sexual Abuser/Fraudster's having repeatedly spewed about democracy and threatened to revoke the Constitution upsets you, just stop listening to his inane ravings.

Technical Difficulties

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.

The United States being a democratic republic is not a contradiction.

As noted, such a bifurcation "misses, too, how we understand the idea of democracy today."

The United States government is a complex entity known as a democratic republic. This essentially means that the government operates on the principles of both a republic and a democracy. In other words, the nation functions upon principles that are common in both republics and democracies. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a republic as “a political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.” The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines democracy as “a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.” In other words, in a republic there are a group of citizens elected or appointed to represent the people, but with a democracy the power is theoretically in the hands of usually all voting citizens. A democratic republic is a mixture of the two...​

​

... in many cases the government is described as a constitutional democracy because governmental power is defined, limited, and regulated by a constitution and the electorate (General voting populace).​

Not according to the U.S. Government
America is a constitutional federal republic. No where does it say democratic anything

That’s the democratic part.

Conservatives don’t like to acknowledge the democratic part because they maintain power by reducing the power of voters to elect their representatives.

Yes indeed. Plus, four score and seven years later we had this, "government of the people, by the people, for the people."

 

[ThisIsMe]

I think we’re a democratically elected republic, and it ends there. The constitution promises a republican form of government.

The democracy part of it ends at the people bein able to elect their own leaders.

But, to be honest, it doesn’t matter, because we’ve gone so far away from the constitution, it might as well not even exist. Literally 99.9% of everything the federal government does violates the constitution, and we are either too brainwashed to see it, or we just don’t care.

If you need to deny our democratic values. that is what you will do.

The will of the People may be abhorrent to cults that rage against democratic elections whenever they don't like the results, but we are not about to abandon the democratic nature of our republic.

Like I said, Republicans don’t like to talk about democracy because they have nothing but contempt for voters.

Mob rule is the pejorative used by Republicans when they show they don’t actually think the people hold the power.
