While many other countries around the world are yearning for democracy and at the same time looking towards the country that has stood for many years as the beacon for democracy, in the United States of American, the Republican Party seems to move away from these democratic principles. Although it currently only affects only a primary in this segment, it shows that the opinion voters seem to be less important these days.
Similarly, Republicans have redrawn district lines in their states to favor a win for the Republican Party in any future election. Moreover, Wisconsin Governor Walker, as did several other Republican Governors throughout United States, eliminated Unions, which traditionally support the Democratic Party. All in the effort to ensure that Republican Party wins upcoming elections like the one in November.
All this makes me wonder, is our democracy really superior as often claimed by our American politicians?
