We are a democratic republic, and we would still be electing a representative.
To be a pure democracy we’d have to do away with congress and the president and have a popular vote on everything.

We live in a Federalized Constitutional Republic.

The term Republic doesn't mean "representative democracy." It is a system of government based on the power of law. It holds that no group - one person, a group or party, or even the majority of citizens is superior to the law.
