America has a long way to go to becoming a true democracy

Most Americans believe they already live in a democratic country.

But is America really a democracy?

  How is the US political system "democratic" when Trump gets the presidency even though Hilary Clinton got 3 million more votes!

How is America's political system broken/dysfunctional?

There are many ways in wch the electoral process is "rigged" in America...not the least of wch is how Big Money campaign funding undermines the integrity of elections. In America, political office is for sale to the highest bidder.

Another is "restrictions on voter registration" wch ends up disenfranchising the poor and skewing election results in favour of the rich.

America has a long way to go to becoming a true democracy and an egalitarian society.
