Welp, at this point anyone calling the us any form of democracy has to put the clown makeup on thick first.
You have a two party system with one party having no access to anyone not on a list of approved individuals vs the other party having a glorious leader and no access to anyone unless approved. The real sad part is only one of those two cares about holding power, so you have a nation of fascists (remember they did win that election) and a bunch of people who can claim some sort of moral high ground.
basically its a uniparty, justa coalition of the 2 sides, more often than not they pass things benefit themselves and the donors more than the actual voters. most of the time its backdoor deals between the 2 parties and the donors, that doesnt make news, because msm will not let it happen. GOP gets to enact thier plan in exchange for dems enacting some of thiers.
It's a power sharing agreement.
