First off, learn how to spell, dude. What the hell is "democraty?" It's "democracy."

Democracy: noun
1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.
2. A political or social unit that has such a government.
3. The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.
4. Majority rule.
5. The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.

That's taken right from a dictionary. We vote for all levels of government, and for the MOST part, the ppl have the power. It does have a few aspects of a Republic, but we're really a democracy. Now, you read that and tell me that the US isn't a democracy.
