    A democracy requires free elections, so no to both.

    I don’t think the US is that far gone, though. Some states do care about the democratic process, as the graphic indicates. I don’t think the US has left flawed democracy territory yet, at least not everywhere.

    The US’ democracy index is falling, but it’s still comparably high, between France and Italy.

    But I did say factually wrong. I do admit it’s not that cut and dry, and the republic organisation isn’t everything.
