I understood that, only posted what I did because let's just not say "Iran is a democratic country, like the US". It is not.

Iran has a longer history, obviously, but it’s worth mentioning the US is no longer a democratic country. The congress has effectively delegated its powers to the president. You can’t really come back from that any time soon.

You (or rather the US) can come back from that in the next elections, let's hope it works.
