But the Earth is round and hollow, m8. Saw the facts on youtube as well and the guy was very serious looking so it must be true.
Common definitions of the terms democracy and republic often feature overlapping concerns, suggesting that many democracies function as republics, and many republics operate on democratic principles, as shown by these definitions from the Oxford dictionary online:
Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..."[1]
Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."[2]
Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a democratic republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.[3] As with many large systems, US governance is incompletely described by any single term. It also employs the concept, for instance, of a constitutional democracy in which a court system is involved in matters of jurisprudence.[3]
As with other democracies, not all persons in a democratic republic are necessarily citizens, and not all citizens are necessarily entitled to vote.[4] Suffrage is commonly restricted by criteria such as voting age.[5]
It's both, the clue is in Democratic Republic.

But YOU are a LEFTIST/PROGRESSIVE Correct?
And those are Words we really need to learn.
Because it is those people that are the REAL Threat to our Democratic Republic.
Interestingly the UK is often described as a Representative Democratic Monarchy. Because MP's also a Representatives representing constituents but empowered to make decisions themselves. The rest is self-explanatory. So not only can you be a democracy and a republic, you can be a democracy and a monarchy.
