Russia and Iran have democratically elected presidents. How is that non-democratic?. Democracy does not mean "complying to US dictates". Fully agree with the overall point though.

I could be misremembering, but I thought there was some pretty big hubbub over Iran's election!

Where as recent US elections have been almost entirely hubbub free. (I agree there is a difference in extremity)
I'm from Russia originally, and current political system doesn't look democratic to me - elections are forged, all TV is state owned/controlled, very few independent newspapers, government is corrupted, one political party is in charge with no alternatives etc. - but your mileage may vary of course.
