what if it's the US tho
A friendly reminder that a republic with democratically elected representatives is by definition a democracy and Americans trying to claim otherwise are an excellent example of the failure of the American education system

the US is a representative democracy. it being a republic ( and a very tyrannical one at that ) doesn't make it not a democracy.
-
Doesn't that effectively degrade the word "democracy" to the point where it's not meaningful anymore?
-
If democratically elected representatives doesn't equal democracy, then there are very few countries in the world that are actual democracies.
-
idk, maybe countries that are controlled by monied interests to the detriments of common people shouldn't be called "democracies" but instead aristocracies or oligarchies or something
-
that's a good point, but you will still never catch me saying "ackchyually America is a oligarchy, not a democracy" ( even though it technically is a oligarchy )

It's both. Representative democracy consists of elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy. Nearly all modern Western-style democracies are types of representative democracies; for example, the United States is a federal republic.
