    But the US government is voted by the US people in overall democratic elections. The people in Russia and China do not get this freedom and responsibility.

      Gerrymandering, etc. Republicans keep losing the majority vote and still winning elections because they won a larger number of districts (because they control the drawing of districts in too many places). Plus voter suppression. And then they block all reform.

        I think we can both agree that the level of meddling by gerrymandering or other measures is still a much much lower level of obstructions compared to Russia and China. And why are the democrats not fighting against these obstructive measures?
