You mean "freedom" as in "no slaves", right?

That certainly is a part of freedom. I also mean the freedom of choice to do whatever you please given that it does not harm another person (that hs to be defined..is it physical harm or what), but generally that makes it pretty clear.

I know what's going on.

If I didn't know, I couldn't agree with you.

Well, doesn't America allow that?

Yes, to a certain degree. Why?

Anyone who thinks the US is truly a democracy needs to look up what democracy means again.

Within reason, people are mostly free to do what they wish. I mean, there's no one telling people what career they should go in, or where they can live, or who they can vote for. However, you also need to go to school for x years and such, so this concept of freedom isn't universal for everything, though from a governmental standpoint, these shortcomings are necessary.

Hi, Kyle. 😂

We aren't a true democracy. We're a democratic republic.

You aren't a direct democracy. You are a true democracy in the sense that you actually are a democracy though.
