I'm still not sure what point your trying to make. Are you arguing that the US is a republic but not a democracy? That it's controlled by corporations and therefore shouldn't be called a democracy? That first past the post voting and the two party system prevent a "true" democracy from flourishing? You made a very contrarian statement (totally fine!) but left all the work to figure out what you meant up to the reader. Your response is full of as hominem (ironically what you're complaining about), and it still doesn't explain anything about your position
