voting and electing are not the same thing.
in today's pirate democracy there's voting for a selection of candidates who don't represent the people/citizens.
in a republic each citizen elects his representative and has full veto power and other control mechanisms, the rep is his little bitch (pardon my french).
A republic is a true democracy because the people have the power.
demos - common people
kratos - rule, strength
The declaration of independence, bill of rights, constitutions.. in USA secured the peoples/citizens allodial rights to land and property and only land owners can elect representatives as their public servants/officials.

I'm surprised people still behaving that their vote could make a difference. Politics, as run today, are just a show made to entertain a big audience.
This globalization thing at some stage will need to stop and ideally small local communities will be able to self-admin themselves sustainable without reporting to a control center.
