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

[schmidlap]

^^^This is what leftists indoctrination looks like ^^^
It's pretty ignorant

I can't speak for those "leftists" that fester in your noggin, but your attempt to cast China and the United States as both being "republics"
fails to note the essential distinction.

Only one is a democratic republic.

Why do you need to pretend that they are indistinguishable in their disparate forms of governance?

It is still a DEMOCRACY

No. It is not. Your madrassah taught you nothing of the writings of the Founding Fathers.


“It may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole…and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.“

~ James Madison

Pure Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for Supper
Nobody had one then, nobody has one today

Democracy means the people vote for their representatives. We are a Democracy

You simply don’t understand the terms you use. The Founders made it clear that they understood the dangers of democracy. Their words closely spell that out. You just choose to ignore what they wrote.

James Madison made the differences clear.

https://americanheritage.org/the-american-principle-practice-and-morality-of-a-constitutional-republic/

In Federalist Paper 39, Founder and Constitution architect James Madison describes a republic as to include “a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices…for a limited period, or during good behavior.”[2] A constitutional republic follows a written constitution of laws by which the people, their representatives, and the government agree to abide. A republic differs from a pure or direct democracy, as Madison explains in Federalist Paper 14, which is governed directly by the whole body of citizens who “meet and exercise the government in person.”[3] Due to the direct involvement of all citizens, direct democracy is only practical for a small nation, while a republic “may be extended over a large region.”[4] America’s constitutional republic—its organization, limits, and laws—is laid out in the U.S. Constitution of 1787.

Like most Conservatives, you think a Democracy and a Republic are mutually exclusive.
Our Republic is a Democracy

Not all Republics are

Like most who don’t understand the terms they use, you face plant in the dirt, then brush yourself off and proceed on as if nothing happened.

The Founders made it clear, this nation was not a democracy.

Just ignore what they wrote and copy and paste your specious, unsupported opinion.

Yet they gave citizens the vote

Hamas was voted into power. So was Abbas. I guess those are DEMOCRACIES.

“Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy”

Many on your side want it. And in some states bssically have it.

If the Enumerated powers would have remained no State would really give a damn about stupid things other states do.

We wouldnt be in a rush to hand out money when states have to pay their share. Not looting us by putting ious on our currency

The Roman Republic was not a democracy.

Senators were not elected. They were appointed.

We ELECT our representatives.

That’s democracy
