America has democracy??
Officially.
Allegedly
It's a Republic because the wealthy knew the people would get it wrong and they needed representative government rather than democracy
Ostensibly. On paper.
Not only does it have democracy, it also has socialism! You just have to be ultra rich or a mega corporation.
To be fair, subsidies aren't really Socialism. Socialism is more about who owns the Means of Production than it is who gets the benefits from the state.
