This may be an education system thing. In school, I think most people are
taught where democracy is used specifically to mean in the direct sense, as
defined above.
IMHO, many of our politicians also use it incorrectly.
I was taught that we are a Representative Republic where the people
Democratically select their representatives. They did teach us that were
were not a "democracy," meaning not a direct one.
As I said, I think some politicans and others use it wrong, as if we are
(or should be) a direct democracy.
