It is amazing just how many citizens in America do not understand that they do not live in a "democracy". They think that our government is "democratic".
While the Russian president is elected by popular vote, the USA elects its presidents with gerrymandering and "delegates" . . . . And, is not a "democracy", it is a constitutional federal republic . . . That is exactly what the online CIA Factbook on the USA says, you can look it .
. Forgot the pledge of allegiance? "and to the Republic, for which it stands". They have been parroting the lying main stream media for so long that they do not even bother to engage in critical thinking. Democracy is nothing more than an excuse for more war criminal activity and imperialism.
