That's a gish gallop, and the core premise that people believing it's democratic makes it so is incorrect.

The very first article yogthos showed you, had a poll that showed half of usonians don't think their country is a democracy (they're right)

The US congress, its highest governing body, hasn't gotten over a 20% approval rating for many years.

You're deliberately avoiding the core premise that people thinking it's democratic means it's democratic.
