>elect the dude with the minority of the popular vote
Great "democracy" you have America.

It's a democracy of the states.

Political parties are the problem, why should these two gangs pretend to have exclusive access to government? Then they call it "democracy" when you get to pick red flavor or blue flavor.

If you truly believe that the best way for a country's leader to be chosen is by a majority of a direct popular vote, you are mentally a child.

You make a great point. Clearly the way to go for a country's leader to be chosen is by the minority of the country's population.

>"The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states"

>Federal republic

It's not a democracy.

That's how many representative democracies work, yes.

Do you seriously not understand the difference between a direct democracy and a republic you fucking middle schooler

>capitalism
>democracy
