We don’t have elections anymore? When did this happen?

China also likes to claim it is a democracy because it holds elections.

It is fair to say that the USA is still a democracy, but not because of elections. Elections have little to do with democracy. In fact, if the majority of the population hold the view that elections equate to democracy, you don't have a democracy.
