  Despite your inaccurate description of the U.S. as a democracy,

<burps> Yeah, one of those "let's call things what they actually are" freaks.
 
The U.S. is much more preferable than a democracy. Democracy as a form of
government is only slightly better than a dictatorship. Reduced down to its
essentials democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
The sheep isn't gonna like the result of that election even though it was
arrived at democratically.
 

  last I checked, we're still having elections and the current crew are there
 because
  they were voted in 'democratically'. I see no evidence that 'democracy' has
  disappeared.

 
 The US is now classified as a "deficient democracy," number 36 in a
 ranking of 176 countries.

 
Classified by whom? What are their credentials? What are their biases? Why is
their opinion supposed to be considered fact?

 
They put it to a vote.
