Since we are a democratic republic
Uh-oh. I guess we're now the "Democratic Republic of America" now, huh?
What other nations have used that term through history?
Deutsche Demokratische Republic (German Democratic Republic, aka East Germany - Communist)
Somali Democratic Republic
Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
Democratic Republic of Vietnam
Democratic Republic of Korea
People's Democratic Republic of Algeria
Lao People's Democratic Republic...
How many of these are free countries and how many are/were despotic shitholes?
Once the term "Democratic Republic" is used to describe a nation, you can rest assured that it is not a republic and it most certainly is not democratic in any sense of the word.

no.
Do we vote (a democracy)?
Do we elect representatives to govern for us (a republic)?

So you prefer representative democracy?
