The problem is not with the democracy but the leaders and the officials are running the government so they decide which one is over, in Africa the leaders are rich enough to live a good life for centuries but those people are living with nothing. Democracy is important though or else your country also will be like North Korea under the rule of Kim where people are dying due to starving but the leader don't care about it.
The US is a pure democratic country and that is difficult for other democratic countries to imitate...
my country is a democracy but the direction of government is more authoritarian and it seems difficult to criticize, but we are still lucky not like the people in Africa whose countries have severe democratic defects.
the us is not democratic it is being run by racist mobs and race baiters, the democrats are absolutely not less racist than the republicans defending a ciminral drug addict that tried to corrupt the financial system of the usa, while attacking a policeman just because he is white, that never acted racist but in the end led to the racist left accusing america of being racist.
its time to ignore these disgusting left wing racists. they are absolutely unacceptable.
there is always authoritarianism
democracies can and are also be authoritarian. there is always authoritarianism if there is capitalism
there is also authoritarianism in anarchy, nationalism etc.
there is no way that live is without any authoritarianism except if you are god. and then live becomes like a video game in which you know how to use all cheat commands, no one like to play those.
so stop whining about authoritarianism. its unavoidable, the democrats in america are not less authoritarian than the republicans.
