The Economist Just Downgraded the US From a ‘Full Democracy’ to a ‘Flawed Democracy’

Well normally in a democracy the person who gets the most votes wins and the person with the least votes loses. So 'flawed' may be a discreet way to call it.

This have always been the way in USA and a way to prevent the majority to suffocate others, as the founding fathers said if two wolfes and one lamb voted for dinner the lamb would certainly be eaten. So is that fair? For them no, so they made the system in USA.

Funny enough is how the leftwing always decide that when they don't win there isn't any democracy... but will say Cuba, Venezuela and the like are democratic countries.

I'm curious what left wing you're talking about. The USA doesn't have a left wing. The Democrats aren't left-wing (some of its individual members like Bernie Sanders are though, but they actively worked against him anyway), Clinton isn't left-wing and Obama isn't either. People really need to stop blaming the left wing for everything. Not everyone who is against Trump belongs to the left wing for crying out loud. He's an extremist. And please, what serious politician called Cuba a democracy? You're just making things up it seems. 

Obama and Clinton are right-wing politicians, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The USA isn't a democracy, it's an oligarchy.
