    we’re a constitutional federal republic, with democratically elected representatives, but a plutocracy, in practice

      As a political science pedant, can you explain to me the difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic? I tried to Google “constitutional republic” but I just got a Wikipedia page that said they were the same thing.

      Which I guess would fit, since republicans are absolute dumbfucks, but if there’s actually some nuance there, I’m curious to know.

      Thanks!
