Since when is "democracy" the golden standard for every culture and every country? Politics are all about trade-offs, among efficiency, centralized power, poverty to solve, nationality and defence, and many other aspects. Democracy can be beneficial but it sucks at so many things, and it's normally short-sighted. Is Singapore, with less democratic system, not as "legitimate" as the U.S.? Your opinion sounds like a 5-yr old talking about politics.
