No. They aren't as evidenced by the fact that many countries in the world are both Republics and democracies.
Sure. And the water coming out of your faucet is both pure water and sewer water. A little advice? Quit drinking that water.
You don't understand what adjectives are, do you?
NONE of both. They are completely different forms of government.
Yup. The USA is one of them.
The US has never been a democracy; it has always been a republic.
Both sewer water and pure water are water. It seems you are too stupid to understand that. Just because they have other impurities in them doesn't mean they are no longer water.
So, it isn't a democracy if leaders are elected? Is that your position? It appears you are claiming Athens was never a democracy.
News flash - I don't get my information from Google. I got it from history books probably long before idiots like you were born.

Ok. I'll bite. Name one country in the world that is a democracy based on your definition.
Maybe you need to get out of your cult bubble. NY and IL have both talked about gerrymandering to eliminate GOP seats in response.
It's actually a representative republic that uses principles of democracy.
ROFLMAO....
You can whine all fucking day skippy, America isn't a democracy. Did you vote for or against the big beautiful bill?
ROFLMAO. I am not the one whining. I am simply pointing out you are an idiot.
NY cannot redistrict until after the 2026 midterms, so they are irrelevant for that cycle. They also have very few opportunities left that they haven't already gerrymandered their way. Illinois has likewise already gerrymandered the shit out of their state, so can they really squeeze out one or two more seats than they've already gerrymandered their way?
Irrelevant. Most of the Republican-controlled states that are now redistricting have less than 10 US House seats, yet they are still doing it and are (very likely) gaining house seats by doing so. Why can't the Democrat-controlled states likewise do it?
Because it's a battle that you will lose because you deny history.
Thanks for confirming you are full of shit when you said they were doing nothing.
Which ones are those?
I see you can't answer why you act like a child. But then I would expect that of a child.
Thanks for confirming you are illiterate when I clearly said that "Team Donkey has largely NOT been doing this". Do you know how the inclusion of that bolded word changes the meaning of that sentence?
Indiana, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas
I see you can't answer why you beat your wife. But then I would expect that of a wife beater.
LOL. Once again, you are so deep in the cult you reveal yourself to be stupid.
Its interesting that the states that have historically violated the law when it comes to gerrymandering congressional districts now feel free to do so again.
History seems to be something you have no knowledge of. In particular you have not clue what gerrymandering actually is.
Another example of cult behavior from you.
So you don't know. Got it.
This is YOUR issue, not mine.
Because these states either already have all R representatives and/or they are already soooooo deep-red throughout the entire state that there's no possible way to gerrymander any lines in favor of Democrats.
Because SCOTUS has yet to overturn Section 2 of the "Voting Rights Act". Upon the overturn, they will redistrict and gain a seat for R's.
They have some obstacles to gerrymandering the final seat the R's way. It's not impossible, but rather difficult atm.
They already ARE, unless Pence-RINOs stand in the way of it.
They already are.
They could try to shore up the Omaha region for R's. Idk if they will or not.
Same as WY & others.
So, on the Democrat side: Why not Washington? Why not Oregon? Why not New Mexico? Why not Massachusetts? Why not Connecticut? Why not New Jersey?
It is a democracy.
It's funny how think only blue states are gerrymandered while not understanding how gerrymandering actually works.So you don't know. Got it.

Why can't Illinois do that much? Why can't New York do that much? Why can't Maryland do that much?
Answer: THEY'VE ALREADY GERRYMANDERED THE FUCK OUT OF THEIR STATES DECADES AGO!!!!!
They've already historically done it, but they deny their history and try to pretend that they are now "retaliating" to Texas who "just did it out of the blue".
I've said no such thing. My point is that R's still have many open opportunities to gerrymander their states meanwhile D's have already almost entirely used up their gerrymandering opportunities over the decades. Historically, D's have done it WAYYYY more than R's have, and now D's are trying to pretend that they've never historically done it and that they're just "retaliating" against Texas.
Yes, OK and TN have both done gerrymandering over the years (in fact, TN used to be gerrymandered in favor of D's, but you won't admit that). However, MD is gerrymandered too.
There is a silly thing called math and another silly thing called maps.
