No, not correct.

A republic, which is what the USA is, is a representative democracy (where voters choose a representative of their locality or state to make policy votes on their behalf at the organized government levels), as opposed to a pure, or direct, democracy (where everyone votes for every issue, and the majority of voters decides).

An oligarchy is also a type of democracy, i.e. democracy as farce.

That’s way too advanced for the dummies who always chant “We’re not a democracy” when it comes up. It seems nuance is out of their reach.
