    We’re a constitutional Republic, dipshit. We’re not even a true democracy and calling us the oldest when there are PUBS older than our country is ridiculous. We are YOUNG.

      According to wikipedia:

      Under a minimalist definition of democracy, rulers are elected through competitive elections while more expansive definitions link democracy to guarantees of civil liberties and human rights in addition to competitive elections.
