This is a republic, not a democracy

This country is not now, nor has it ever been, a democracy. Greece is a democracy, but this country is a republic.

When are the citizens of the United States going to realize this?

Democracies as a rule don't last, as they are wrought with chaos. I am getting sick and tired of hearing the uneducated, or maybe just plain ignorant people, refer to our country as a democracy, because it never was, isn't now and, hopefully, never will be one.
