You "we" are not a Republic. - A election for a "REAL" Republic means one person one vote in a presidential election, even if you discount Women, Negros and the American Indian the right to vote.

France is a true Republic, The United States is a Republic in name only. The U.S. was not a democracy for all until 1965 and is not one for the reasons below. In this aspect Canada was not a democracy for all until April 17, 1982, despite the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights that in practical reasons did not allow indigenous people to vote unless they gave up their Indigenous Rights this changed in 1982.

Australia is still backwards by not enshrining Indigenous Rights constitutionally as Canada did in 1982 at the insistence of the Queen at the time with part II section 35 https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/page-12.html#h-55 King Charles could do the same here.

As America has a Electoral College System for a Presidential Elections that was a condition of the "slave states" to join to fight the the British to make 13 states. Search: electoral college system origins. IT'S BACKWARDS.

There is NO slave states so why the Electoral College System still?

Would not the Electoral College System be "unconstitutional" in it's self now like Slavery and Jim Crow is now?

It is really should not be up for debate by the individual states, it simply a relic of the past and should have NO force of law.

Maybe the way it is done in Nebraska and Maine might be OK, but then it would resemble a Parliamentary Prime Minister system result for a president which is a bit less flawed if there was NO Gerrymandering.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering which does not make for any-kind of democracy. But is still not one person one vote with run off President. Or if done for Prime Minister the Members of Parliament would cast secret ballots for Prime Minster over 50 percent to elect or with 66 percent or 2/3 to remove the PM prior to fixed election date. But like America the world is very backwards.

Get rid of the Electoral College then America will be a Republic other than a Banana type one, it's as simple as that.

A Electoral College election is like a Banana Republic or Putin fixing a election result to get a desired result, that is why slave states used it as a condition to joining. READ YOUR HISTORY! The reason the Electoral College still exist it's so a few backward states can still dictated to the many.

Further to just in case you ponder of the thought of what a democracy is; it is when everyone can vote equally, for the United States it was in 1964 version of the Civil Rights Act with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964 and in 1965 with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965

This is your country not mine do you not know this?

Rather than responding, in kind, to your completely inappropriate, ad homonym, attack; I will cite a quote, very likely, first directed at one of your ancestors.

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read. ~ Samuel Johnson

Are you referring to a ad hominem attack? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Nice flip around, You that should read more on your electoral college system some such links to read is bellow at the end of comment.

You refer to my kin Samuel Johnson of the 1700s I am guessing, he is NO kin of mind and I am not from that country. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Johnson 

You are talking about "Your" era of Negros as Slaves and women not being a full person an only white men of property could vote in YOUR country vote. Your quips are so Zionist to justify a obvious wrong or malformed reason.

I used to get a similar response from Zionists when I pitched the end to Zionism (apartheid) and one Arab-Jewish commonwealth with Gaza and the West Bank as Palestinian reserve with one person one vote. West Bank

One country New flag and one called Palsrael with a Constitution underpinned by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and made up by the United Nations and end single Veto Votes by all 5 permanent members of the Security Council . 

The Zionist just say that this is antisemitic conflating it with Anti-Zionism once again. Israelis constantly use Iran as a measuring stick and how they are a shinning of democracy, LOL. 

Just like your first "Real" Republic theory unless you count those banana styled ones that fix election or those that still use a electoral college system based on slavery.
