yah it does sound bizarre because i wanna try to make it sound like a joke, but is it really a joke?
we're pretty close to dictatorships tho. we are almost identical to pakistan and egypt. this is where we have our democratic institutions like the congress but the president does what he wants to do regardless.
the other type of dictatorships is when the "democratic" institutions established only say what the president wants. that's like Saddam, or Russia.
i dont wanna get philosophical, but i really do not believe democracy exists anywhere in the world now.
