Just about any kind of democracy is a democratic republic. Heck one of the earliest the Athens republic was a direct democracy with everyone voting for each law/policy/etc. Except for officials, those were chosen by lottery.I see your argument, but what I'm saying is that permitting more voting for more things, is fundamentally inching further towards democracy rather than a democratic republic.
Just for senators or all elected officials? And what criteria would you use to limit voting?Limiting voting to a much smaller subset of the population, and keeping direct voting for reps to a state or township level, would do wonders for reverting us back to how this country is intended to function.
