democratic republic is still a democracy, please don't be like those conservatives who spout "it's a republic not a democracy", the electoral system is outdated, but it's still a democracy
Yeah, sure, just like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) is also a Democracy because it says so in the name.
Sorry but that power duopoly with a Mathematically rigged voting system you have over there is barelly more democratic than Russia, the vote being little more than a theatrical performance were you get to choose between two pre-selected options who are so shit they can't really sell their own personal qualities so both mainly campaign on "vote me 'cause the other guy is worse".
Unsurprising both "sides" when in power always govern for the benefit of the same group (and it's not those who voted for them) but they sure make a big show of their differences in the moral plane to compensate for being pretty much the same in when it comes to the actually governing of the country for the good of those who live there.
