Its a Republic AND a Democracy.
People tie themselves in knots quibbling on this.
It is, like most American controversies, almost a religious question. It sounds like Byzantines arguing over the nature of Christ, and, with a typical bad temper, calling each other heretics.

Its clarifying to look at it from the outside.
Where does the US system, as it actually has been over the last century, fit in what the rest of humanity does? Short answer is that it is a Democracy with minor peculiarities.
