        Individual voters tell their state how to cast the state vote. States vote to elect the president. Our States are more analagous to countries that are members of the EU than, say, the states in Mexico or provinces in Canada. (Not that I’m particularly educated on the government systems of the EU, Mexico, or Canada. If I made a bad comparison please feel free to correct me)

      You are indeed more of a oligarchy than a democracy.

      So you aren’t a democratic republic either as much as North Korea isn’t a democratic people’s republic.
