Technically we do not live in a direct democracy. We do live in a representative democracy and a consitutional republic.

Having said that, I get what you are saying and the fact that we can have a pedantic public debate about those terms is a good thing.

I to complain about people that tout “democracy.” Thank goodness we do not live in a democracy. Milton Friedman has given the example: Never is it OK for 51% of the people to agree to shoot the other 49%...

“But, shutting down hate speech web sites, because they do not agree with you is what the Nazis did.”

Did not know the internet pre-dated the Nazis. Learn something new every day.
