democracy

Democracy is when two or more parties take turns governing.
So don't say America is a democracy.
Of course, the democratic process in the United States is much more advanced than in our country.
However, there is no need for so much superiority. Institutionally, you, like us, will use tyranny to kill people, although not as many as in our country.
The law, which enforces justice, also suppresses liberty.
In the hands of those without supervision, it is a weapon. Weapons that kill people.
A country is big enough, if there is only one government, then the government will be too big. Too big a government, too much power, will naturally lead to selfish dictatorship.
So, don't imagine how "free and equal" the United States is.
"Freedom and equality" doesn't depend on you talking about it everywhere, making a few movies, singing a few lines in a popular song, and others will really believe it.
Maybe there are many people in China who will believe it.
But I doubt.
Freedom, democracy and equality, I think Europe is much more tolerant than America.
Look at more documentaries made by Americans themselves. I think they are much more real than those in commercial films.
