There is a huge difference.

Most people have been conditioned in the government schools to believe
otherwise. Even for those who know better it is very easy to slip up
and use the incorrect terminology since it is so pervasive.

Democracy is just mob rule, where 51% of the people have their way the
other 49%. (It has also been described as two foxes and a hen voting on
what to have for dinner.)

If it weren't for the electoral college, California and New York would
decide every presidential election and the rest of us might as well just
stay home. (Of course this is the situation that the Communis... oops, I
mean the "Democrat" party, would like to bring about.)

Are you saying you don't want each individual citizen to have an equal vote?
