Ukraine is a democracy. Why not vote for the other guy next time? How does it make sense to go out and burn and break things instead.

Because it isn’t really a democracy; the amount of corruption hasn’t really changed at all since The Orange Revolution[1].

From that very article, "Yushchenko was declared the official winner and with his inauguration on 23 January 2005 in Kiev, the Orange Revolution ended." Democracy worked.

I suppose you must come from a country where rampant corruption is the norm to understand what "declared the official winner" actually means.
