It is called Democracy, which is a system in which you use arguments to convince people to vote for you, so different groups can participate in society without the need of voilence, riots and killing opposing political leaders.

we're in a republic because our forefathers knew people were stupid, but it's degenerated.
We are a Constitutional Representative Republic, the founding father's we against becoming a Democracy.

You know both of those can be, and are, true. We're a republic because our head of state is elected, and we're a democracy because power is vested in the people, who exercise it by voting.
The founding fathers made it clear, we are a republic and not a democracy.
1a(1): a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in
modern times is usually a president
(2): a political unit (such as a nation) having such a form of government > b(1): a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens
entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and
representatives responsible to them and governing according to law > (2): a political unit (such as a nation) having such a form of government
1a : government by the people
especially : rule of the majority
b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and
exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of
representation usually involving periodically held free elections
2 : a political unit that has a democratic government
Is the United States a democracy or a republic?-Ƕƒlian
The United States is both a democracy and a republic. Democracies and republics are both forms of government in which supreme power resides in the citizens. The word republic refers specifically to a government in which those citizens elect representatives who govern according to the law. The word democracy can refer to this same kind of representational government,
or it can refer instead to what is also called a direct democracy, in which the citizens themselves participate in the act of governing directly.
The two are *not* necessarily exclusive, and Merriam-Webster even debunks this line of thinking in the FAQ for "democracy":

A Repulic is bound by Constitutional rules.
We are a Constitutional Republic bound to our constitution.
Our form of Government is not a Democracy.
A constitutional republic provides safeguards to ensure that the decisions by elected officials are generally in line with the best interest of the people.
Just admit that you're wrong and move on with your life lol
direct democracy, in which
the citizens themselves participate in the act of governing directly.
I'm definitely not wrong, a Republic and a Democracy are different.
By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is r
direct democracy, in which
the citizens themselves participate in the act of governing directly.
This may be an education system thing. In school, I think most people are taught where democracy is used specifically to mean in the direct sense, a defined above.

IMHO, many of our politicians also use it incorrectly.
I was taught that we are a Representative Republic where the people Democratically select their representatives. They did teach us that were were not a "democracy," meaning not a direct one.
As I said, I think some politicans and others use it wrong, as if we are
(or should be) a direct democracy.

Yep, that is her. As MRO pointed out, there were actually two attempts on Ford. Weird since he was mostly a caretaker and not very controversial.
