can you really call this two party system a democracy

[–] anarchy79 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No. Did you know they wanted to send international observers for the last election because of worries that the US no longer adheres to democratic process? They were turned away, of course.

You know, like in third world nations and dictatorships.

Who's the "they" that wanted to send observers? And who turned them away?

Because I can find no evidence of what you claimed, so maybe you should double check your own sources, preferably before spreading lies

The democracy in the US is not considered a "real" democracy where I come from

In political science terms it's what we call a "flawed democracy," meaning that it has some but not all the features of an actual democracy.
