Perhaps you thought the link I gave was not relevant to the Subject -
I am surprised you did not refer to the �democracy� of Russia, which
has voted for Putin for quite a few democratic elections now.

To go back to the United States of America, was there any part of https://www.gregpalast.com/how-trump-gop-fixed-2026-yes-2026/
that you believe supports concern about whether they are (or perhaps
have ever been) �The Worlds Greatest Democracy� ?

I don't think so. The world's largest is India or Japan (depending on who you believe) but the USA has not been the greatest for decades if ever.
NZ has been listed higher than them for many years.

Gee you are naive - do you really believe that nonsense?
