Why is NK called Democratic People's Republic if it's not? The marketing copy can say whatever it needs to.
And America isn't a democracy, it's a Republic.
This is the most infuriatingly incorrect statement.
America is a democracy AND it's a republic AND a bunch of other stuff.
The full description is that America is a Federal Constitutional Representative Democratic Republic.
Technically “America” is a continent. The country is called “United States of America”. ;-)
And yes, saying it’s not a democracy infuriates me as well, because it’s being used to justify a whole lot of undemocratic shenanigans.
Lol I almost went for that pedantry. However technically America is not a continent (under most definitions of continent) but North and South America are. :P
Unless you grew up in a place that taught a six-continent model instead of a seven-continent model and it was NA/SA consolidated instead of Europe and Asia into Eurasia.
Also: continents are bullshit.
Also also: America is the United States of America in the English-speaking world.
When the Presided of the USA is no longer bound by the Constitution, written law, it is no longer.
Oh my god I cannot stand reading this anymore, why do so many people parrot that like it's some gotcha phrase.
"A cat is not a pet, it's a feline."
Things can be multiple things at once. The US are a republic and a democracy. Republic = not a kingdom, democracy = power to the people. Close but not exact synonyms.
