Untrue:

Republic = no monarch or emperor Democracy = a form of choosing those who govern

This is a very important distinction and you can have either with or without the other. I think that Republicans really want to say that your vote doesn't matter.

They mean the same shit in different languages. Republic is the latin word, and democracy is the greek word.
