careerism is undemocratic.  98-99% incumbent re-election rates are undemocratic.

Are you just going to assert that?

Yeah, ALF is really abusing the word "Republic," which simply means "a country that isn't a monarchy" (thus North Korea, the US, and, Switzerland are all Republics, but the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Sweden all aren't).  Republic has nothing to do with how the government is actually selected, which, in the US, is done democratically.  The "Republic, not a Democracy" thing is the dumbest talking point.
