More boomer retardation. Oh, and I'm a Gen-Xer, not a millennial. Open any dictionary and it will say : Form of government Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to deliberate and decide legislation, >or to choose governing officials to do so. Guess what that means? It means a Republic is a form of Democracy. I do, however, have the balls to admit when I'm wrong and I got the wrong Roosevelt. Outside of that, everything I said was true. But your entire post is wrong. You seem to think that a Republic is not a form of Democracy and that's because your education into political philosophy is literally nil. kys
