Actual democracy means that if you don't like how its going you have a right to switch leadership which in turn has a right to change the laws you don't like something we absolutely have had.before just recently.

Did the millions of people America murdered overseas have a right to switch leadership? Or the absurd number of prisoners in US jails? Did people outside of swing states? People who want something other than neoliberalism? The people who were part of communist or black liberation parties that were destroyed by the US intelligence services and their leadership assassinated?
