I'll have to disagree with you, you're still describing a republic with your phrasing. I don't like dealing with poorly defined terms, broadening "democracy" to include republics and anything between the two. In the US, representatives are voted for, yet the core system is still a republic on paper.
Regardless, I'd argue the US has already slipped into corporatism, aka fascism, despite airs that voting still matters.
