It's not. That's the lie we tell ourselves. Our federal government is not a direct democracy. We like to pretend it is, but it's not.

The slogan is "It's a Republic, not a democracy." They don't talk about *direct* democracy as distinct, because the point is to erode faith in democracy, not to argue with intellectual honesty.

No one pretends the federal government is a direct democracy. But it’s not even close to a representative democracy at present.
