Well James, they are elected by a democratic process. That means the majority of the people decided to have their interests represented by the elected person. But in a Republic a majority of people can't vote to break the law. A majority of your neighbors can't vote to take your property. A majority of Americans can't vote to have slaves. Get it?
We don't have a democracy, we live in a Constitutional Republic, big difference.
Civics question: How are the representatives and senators of this constitutional republic selected?
By a democratic process of votes. Votes which one party is constantly trying to limit.

They actually find the "Republic" part is anathema to their progress towards one party rule.
