@MikeKofiA
actually ranked choice voting would accomplish that better....

here is the founder of America's original republican party on the definition of the word. no need for representatives stated. Now, that's always done, for reasons of practicality. 1of 2

The "republic not a democracy" line is literally just a way of invoking the two parties' names and creating associations of authoritative legitimacy with one over the other. It's not deeper than that and not enough people call this out.
