The US is actually a constitutional republic but with democratic ideals (in the democracy sense of the word). Certain aspects of the country really on a 51% majority rule vote, but that’s usually at a local or state level. At a federal level (like absolute changes to the constitution) you need a fairly large majority to get things rolling. If you recall from the impeachment trial earlier this year, it only required a majority to “impeach” trump In the House, but to actually convict would have required a 2/3 majority in the Senate.
