Just because the U.S. is a joke of a democracy doesn't mean democracy as a whole is a joke.
*Constitutional Republic.
A constitutional republic is not mutually exclusive with democracy.
This is like saying "it isn't a car, it's a vehicle". No shit it is a vehicle, but the type of vehicle is "car".
Don’t count on people who never breathe through their nose to look deeper than what some personality on YouTube said. They don’t care about definitions, they just hear words and repeat them without looking any further. Like happy little dumb parrots. Some jackass said, “we ain’t no democracy, wurr a cawn-stuh-toosh-uhnool republic!” and they said, “huht huht! That’s right!” without bothering to learn what a constitutional republic is.
Oh I know, I'm right there with you. But I get a level of entertainment out of it.
