Political nitpickers often rebut others' use of the word "Democracy" to describe America and other first world nations by pointing out that America is a republic - or more accurately a Constitutional Republic.
Another benefit of a constitutional republic is that the government branches spend more time fighting each other, leaving less time to inflict damage on the people. In theory.
I've always figured they DEMOCracy because they are DEMOCrats, and don't want to say REPUBLIC because they are not REPUBLICians. They do like their optics.
