    How can you call a country with a two-party political system a democracy is the real question here? Yes, you have primary and the political agenda of the candidates differ to some extent but this isn’t really a democracy in my eyes.

    For me democracy is to have a plurality of political parties, to form a government with other political parties and people to have a real choice and what you have in the US isn’t exactly that.
