Why do people (usually the left) keep falsely claiming that the USA is a democracy? The US gov website says we’re a Constitutional Republic?
We are not a “democracy”, we are a “Constitutional Republic”. It’s very important that people learn the difference. See the USA government link, from the US embassy website, explaining this:

The government article (linked above and below) DIRECTLY states the following paragraph:
“While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power.”
The US government article continues:
“What makes U.S. government uniquely American…its Constitution, the separation of powers, the concept of “checks and balances,” the decentralized roles of state and local governments ...”
Democracy, on the other hand, is almost mob rule. The 51% can vote to steal from, or kill, the 49%. They can legislate any laws they want, as long as they have the votes. A Constitutional Republic does not allow this, because it prioritizes constitutional rights
You can come to your own conclusions as to why 1 particular political party wants to keep repeating “The Big Lie” that we are a democracy, instead of a republic. One would assume it’s because they want people to forget about the importance and the absolute requirement of us retaining our Constitutional, inalienable human individual rights
