The majority of the US citizens have voted for Clinton, but Trump was elected. Do you see any evidence of democracy there? Buy new the glasses and go back to school, man.

i did not say that IT IS the case in the states. but IT SHOULD BE THE CASE.
but if you discuss with people who don´t even know that their system SHOULD be a democracy and instead thinking that a constitutional republic is not a democracy how can you blame them then when they vote for an idiot as their president?
an idiot can only vote for another idiot.
but let me tell you what. russia calls itself also a democracy. and? is it a democracy? no for sure not!
MAYBE the difference is that russians know that while some americans don´t even know that their constitution is based on highest democratic values.
but the funny part is: here we have 2 countries that call them self democratic but not one of them is even near a democracy and the one wants to teach the other something about democracy.
that's like two non-swimmers want to explain each other how best to win in a swim marathon.
