I was always told that our govt is a democratic republic which is;

 

A democratic republic is, strictly speaking, a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens, and the government itself is run through elected officials

 

I am confused as to what exactly our govt is today I would say that the Democrats are starting to lean towards Communism though they call themselves Liberals, Progressives, Democrat Socialist but a terd by another name still stinks.
