If the people, you elect work against you it isn't really a republic either.

The US is a plutocracy with democratic gilding. Policies supported by big businesses overwhelmingly get passed even when the people largely don't want it. Democracies also have their elected officials representing the people at large, not 50 rich dudes.

Big bussiness usually support parties which low key makes the politicians think positively of them but they make the decisions which makes it a democracy………rich people usually win primaries because they can afford promotions and have massive campaigns while low class people can’t but that doesn’t mean they can’t run but they won’t win….

Big business supports the politicians who'll do their bidding like the good little serfs they are. The US is a democracy like Russia is a democracy; the only real difference is that Russia's plutocrats are also politicians.
