No parliament means no democracy in United States. It’s a representative republic. Democracies don’t have the electoral college and US does. Renegadeviking (talk) 01:58, 4 September 2022 (UTC) Do you have reliable sources that verify this claim? Because if this is just your opinion of what a democracy is, we can’t act on that, and even with reliable sources per WP:EXTRAORDINARY they’d need to be very good and compelling sources, because that’s quite a claim. – Aoidh (talk) 02:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC) https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/abouthttps://www.heritage.org/american-founders/report/america-republic-not-democracyhttps://www.govinfo.gov/features/us-electoral-collegehttps://www.govinfo.gov/features/us-electoral-college — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renegadeviking (talk • contribs) 02:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC) None of these support what you’re saying, that “democracies don’t have the electoral college.” It may not be the exact type of whatever democracy you’re thinking of, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t one itself. – Aoidh (talk) 02:10, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

• The Heritage foundation is a think tank with a clear bias when it comes to American politics. They’re not a reliable source for facts. And the other sources don’t say what you’re asserting. —Aquillion (talk) 03:40, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Democracies don’t have 435 Congressmen in House of Representatives with who knows how many districts that are supposed to be loyal to voters. Then USA has without any vote of no confidence like in parliament so that’s not democracies. 3 branches of government. In US there is impeachment. Democracies come from Ancient Greece. Ancient Romans have Senators or Senates. No other constitutional republics have God in the writing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renegadeviking (talk • contribs) 03:56, 4 September 2022 (UTC) First, please sign your comments so we know who is saying what is being said. Second, that you personally feel that it is not a democracy because of whatever criteria is ultimately irrelevant; we go by what reliable sources say, not with what we feel is true. – Aoidh (talk) 04:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC) Except USA has http://keywiki.org. Democrats are trying to erase servers and history. We need the Wayback machine more these days. https://bensguide.gpo.gov/m-constitutionRenegadeviking (talk • contribs) 03:56, 4 September 2022 (UTC) Whatever that website is, and I feel like we’re getting into conspiracy theory territory here, but it’s irrelevant to the point you’re trying to make and does not change why your assertion about democracy and the United States is inaccurate. But we’re getting off track. Do you have an issue with anything in the article, do you have a proposal for an alternate wording or removal of a specific wording, and do you have reliable sources to back up that proposed change? Anything short of that and this discussion should honestly be closed as it’s getting off-topic. – Aoidh (talk) 04:59, 4 September 2022 (UTC) Sorry, that isn’t correct, and doesn’t really make sense. The US is a representative democracy, or a republic. It’s not a direct democracy. But there is a legislature elected by popular election, similar to parliament. And we don’t have a monarchy, unlike the UK, which has a fossilized vestige that could still technically dissolve parliament. Andre 02:08, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

The british have a nice encyclopedia saying its a constitutional republic. https://www.britannica.com/place/United-States Renegadeviking (talk • contribs) 03:56, 4 September 2022 (UTC) Democratic Centralism in Marxism-Leninism doesn’t make sense either and that’s not democracy either. Democratic German Republic (east germany) doesn’t make sense as a title, because it’s a dictatorship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renegadeviking (talk • contribs) 02:13, 4 September 2022 (UTC)A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. And apparently you’re coming here making statements from Kari Lake[4].

In the end however it comes down to semantics. The way they define it, the U.S. is not a democracy although it is according to how the term is normally understood today. While the discussion is worthy of coverage in Wikipedia, this is not the article to do that.
