We have a democracy and a republic and several other words could be used to describe our constitutional form of government. We have representative forms of those two generic terms.
It’s become fashionable among some to say: The US is a republic, not a democracy. Sorry, it’s some of both and there is a lot of overlap in the definitions.
And your entire post is almost irrelevant because no one word describes our form of government of practically any form of government.
But, keep on boostering for all those republicans like China, Iran, North Korea and others.
You just sound silly pretending that the word republic provides some all encompassing definition of the US form of government. It doesn’t.

Nothing like having a Liberal around to muddy the Constitutional waters.

Take it up with the Founding Fathers who rejected democracy, with good reason. Read the Federalist Papers if you want a clue, but you probably don’t.
