That's sort of my point. When everything looks close and reasonable, democracy is the veneer, but when it's fully exercised, democracy still works.
I have a hard time feeling bad for sanctioning a country whose government is actively expansionist and an extension of the mafia even if I feel bad for the citizens, but that's a separate discussion altogether.
