Re: US says Russia could join NATO (rofl)
Technically, to be a democracy all you need to do is elect your main politicians by popular vote. So Iran and Venezuela are democracies. Not open, clean and honest ones (well, Venezuela was), but still democracies. China only elects its town councils, and North Korea doesn't actually vote.
Just because a country's electoral process doesn't mirror ours does not mean it is not a democracy.
The Bobo Administartion thinks that Iran and Venezuela are democratcies. So why not Russia? Next thing we will hear the bobo crew say China and North Korea are democraties. It wouldn't surprise me.
