Just because we abolished slavery doesn’t mean we’ve yet abolished racism. Just because we’ve given women rights doesn’t mean we’ve yet abolished misogeny. And just because we’re a democracy doesn’t mean we’ve given up the aristocratic prejudices designed to keep the masses down.

We are a representative democracy AND a constitutional republic. It’s like saying a house has windows and also has a door.

Being a republic and being a representative democracy are two different things. Not mutually exclusive. One is how we're organized and the other is how we're governed.
