          This is such a stupid talking point I can’t believe it still gets parroted.

          If you have elections for government officials chosen from the people, you are a democracy - there’s no real high bar for that.

          If you are an independent nation not beholden to any foreign power, you are a Republic. The American head of state is the US President chosen by the American people, not a King or Queen from another nation.

          One does not exclude the other.
