The irony is that the Americans are slaves to their electoral system. Liberal democracies are one big, pathetic myth where they make the masses believe that they are the ones in control of the polity and just like they elected someone into a position of power they can dismiss them in later elections.
The discourse that has been happening shows quite a different reality: Americans are treating the elections as if there is no alternative. Even if there indeed was no alternative, they don't bargain with the ones in power, they don't use their vote as a bargaining chip for political change. They are ready to vote unconditionally because they accept their candidate as is.
You don't see democrat voters pressuring the Biden administration to put an end to the genocide in Palestine. They feel uneasy towards what's happening but ultimately they consider themselves to be powerless. Western democracy and constitutionalism have politically alienated the people.
The Pax Americana educational system will avoid debate over the meaning of words like 'democracy' so that the manipulation of definition of words allow the Pax Americana to use democracy slogan to justify authoritarianism in their hypocrisy. They will convince the people that electoralism is the only indicator of democracy, but then claim that an election was rigged if the election result does not suit Pax Americana like the allegation by Hillary Clinton in 2016, by Donald Trump in 2020, and by Neo-Liberal American politicians about Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. Like with the electoralism in USSR, the Pax Americana will later denied the existance of electoralism in a country after claiming that the electoralism was rigged to maintain their indoctrination that electoralism is the only indicator of democracy.
