So then why in the same study do we see abysmal ratings for other authoritian dictatorships? Iraq, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, Russia, etc… If your point is that civilians in authoritarian regimes are coerced to show support in these types of polls, the results prove that notion wrong.




Why not?


What’s your point?


So then why did Russians in the same study claim abysmal democracy? Aren’t they afraid of the KGB?



oppressive authoritarianism

So then you’d concede Ukraine is not democratic since they can’t vote out Zelenskyy, right?
The point here being - democracy isn’t just “the presence of multiple political parties”.
