As a Canadian looking from the outside in, it really does seem to be trending in that direction… any further Republican wins will mean the end of democracy, with America sliding into a ChristoFascist Autocracy.
I fear for my American neighbours, but we have similar problems up here; we just happen to be a decade or so behind you folk.
can you really call this two party system a democracy
No. Did you know they wanted to send international observers for the last election because of worries that the US no longer adheres to democratic process? They were turned away, of course.
You know, like in third world nations and dictatorships.
Who's the "they" that wanted to send observers? And who turned them away?
Because I can find no evidence of what you claimed, so maybe you should double check your own sources, preferably before spreading lies

In political science terms it's what we call a "flawed democracy," meaning that it has some but not all the features of an actual democracy.
