Exactly and at the end tell them, āIām sure you know the difference.ā
I don't! I don't get this entire point of contention, it seems weird.
We are a republic that elects it's leaders through a democratic process. We are a democratic republic. Why is it wrong to say democracy but right to say republic even though both are missing a piece of the picture?
No, we are a Republic that elects its leaders through a "constitutional" process.
The way we elect is by our constitutional edicts.
A constitutional process that lays out how to run the democratic part of our republic, right? And these leaders that the people elect can then go ahead and change the constitution, right? I still don't see how this means democratic republic is an incorrect label. Should we just start calling it a constitutional democratic republic? Would that make everyone happy?
I sent you a link to a video that perfectly explains the differences. Did you bother to watch it? It explains why a "democracy" is a bad thing.
