Democracy is a form of government where the people make the decisions. People mistake the US for a democracy, but we are not. We select the people that make the decisions, and this is what a republic is about.

First, lets define democracy (and thus, being democratic): \nde·moc·ra·cy NOUN: \n1-Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. \n2-A political or social unit that has such a government. \n3-The common people, considered as the primary source of political power. \n4-The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community. \n\nThere are people in both parties who agree with these principles. There are an equal (or greater number of people) who prefer to be 'herded around' by the media, be it FOX or ABC. I, and most of the democratic-leaning independents I know, put little faith in the corporate controlled media. I do know a few conservative Republicans, my mother for one, who believe everything they see on FOX news. \n\nAs for being democratic, I believe the country has strayed from being a democracy. The government is still a government by the people, but more and more power is being wielded by corporations and special interest groups. The common people are no longer the 'primary source of political power'. This is the fault of both parties. As for definition #4, democrats tend to believe in this one more than republicans. So if both parties believe in #1 and #2 in principle, #3 has been subverted by both parties, and #4 leans heavily on the Democratic party side, I ask you this:\n \nWhich party is not democratic in thinking?\n\nDemocracy or being democratic has nothing to do with being 'herded around'. It has everything to do with 'social equality and respect'.\n\nRepublicans, on the other hand, believe in the US as a republic. The definition is very similar to the definition of democracy, but #4 is curiously absent.

More people would be more apt to respond if you changed your question to include something like....ohhh...correct spelling?  \n\nA democrad?  WTF is a democrad?  Do you really expect answers with this?\n\nAfter reading your added details, I still refuse to answer on the grounds that I don't think you're really trying.  \n\nUse spell check.  Don't shorten words (i.e. u for you).  Try again.

The earliest recorded history of direct democrcay would be the one practiced by the Greeks. They would all asemble at the market place and would discuss and would vote on matters of state but as the population grow, it became evident that there would not only be logical concerns but peace and order as well. And so representative democracy was born.\n\nImagine in the US if every bill that will be passed, the entire US population would go to debate how the bill will be phrased, worded, revised and voted. Even the country you mentioned is no longer near the pure democracy espoused by the Greeks because someone crafts the bill before tossing it to the population for the vote.\n\nIn the end, a look at US Constitution would tell us that there is still traces of direct democracy in the U.S. During the last midterm election, we have seen states voting for different referendums and ammendments. Californias exercised direct democracy by calling for a re-call. And amendments were added to the US Consitution through direct democracy.

For this, look into ancient Greek history. That's the last time this planet saw true democracy. Now it's a hopeful face draped over a rotting corpse beneath. It's about time for something to change in the world. Something big. This planet needs an enema.
