Ep. 3 | Republic vs. Democracy

Preserving America's democracy seems to be a top priority for conservatives and liberals alike, and many who fall in between. And there wouldn't be anything wrong with that– if America was actually a democracy. The reality is, the United States is a republic, a fact many forget or may never have learned. Why does this matter? What's the difference between a democracy and republic? Why was the United States built as a republic, and what does this mean for Americans? The Red Girl teams up with Ryan Goke, host of "Between the Liars", a debate-style political podcast centered around current events, to unpack the importance of these questions and more. Join the Red Girl as she examines one of the most basic and misunderstood principles of our government.
