Again, this would be the Legislative branch. Your right to vote has not decreased, and you can absolutely contact your senator to introduce a bill for what you stated. I mean, you have a representative. Absolutely use them if you dislike something.

However, disagreeing with the Legislative or Executive branch in no way erodes your democratic rights.

You're correct, the non existent democratic rights of the people have not been eroded. As you have you described, USA is a Republic not a Democracy.

Well, your democratic right would be to vote. However, as you said we are in a democratic republic where we don’t vote to make the laws but rather vote for representatives.

My right to vote for a Congress member and tell them what I want to fund is nullified, if the president refuses to follow the budget laws they passed.
