Sure I do, direct elections aren’t the only type available to representative democracies. Allowing an unelected member of the judicial branch to bar candidates from federal office is antidemocratic and (more importantly in this case) unconstitutional.
No you don’t, if you’re being honest. No system which allows itself to act against the will of its people can be said to democratic at the most basic definition of the word, regardless of which specific type of democracy it is.
Also it’s funny you talk about representative democracy, when the people who actually vote for the President- the electoral college- aren’t elected by voters.
the only reason the US was considered a democracy was because the electoral college tended to vote along popular lines anyway. If Trump wins again he won’t win the popular vote. Between the electoral college, the broken nature of the senate, and the gerrymandering of the house… its not a democracy now, for sure.
