Not having an electoral college does not represent direct democracy either...

Okay I think we are having a misunderstanding or language issue lol.

Or maybe you don’t understand what you are arguing against?  The US is a republic that elects it’s representatives democratically.  A direct democracy would not have any representatives and people would vote on the issues directly.  I haven’t seen anybody advocate or bring up a direct democracy except you.

The abolishment of the electoral college would not change us to a democracy.  We would still have elected officials.  The presidency is the only elected position that has this system in place... changing it to match how every other official is elected would still be a republic system....
