    By that definition, several Warsaw Pact states were also democratic, since you could vote for anyone the ruling parties nominated, and frequently the local Communist party only had a 60-70% majority in the relevant assembly.

    Now I’m not saying the US is a dictatorship, but there are definitely a lot of anti-democratic qualities to it, and the decision to support Israel is not a democratic decision made by the US Government.
