Yeah I remember all of those things. The complete lack of capacity to send an end to end encrypted message will tell you that it’s worse there.
Fill me in on this “real democracy” like I’m not American and pretend I live somewhere with proportional representation where anyone can run for office, because I do.

The method of voting isn’t what makes it real democracy it’s the class content of the state and the fact that voting is a ritual for representatives that will only ever serve capital as opposed to voting being a single part of a daily system of feedback and interaction with deputies embedded in the grassroots situation who need accomplishments (to solve our problems) to go for higher offices. There’s a reason the number of billionaires in China is shrinking while public services and social safety nets are constantly seeing investment while in Europe and America austerity for the masses and tax cuts for the rich is law.
