Winning a debate is not equal to using republic ways (most commonly a
representative vote)

I am not speaking about Fontan in this specific case but more about

Winning a debate through protest/argument/force is not necessarily a
republic way. It might be one of them, but is not exclusive to
republic or be a republic way.
