No, this is representative democracy which is a whole different game than democracy, where the people can affect change without middle men like Trump. Like in Switzerland, where people vote on referendums 4 times a year.

The USA has the lowest form of democracy, where the population cast a vote on a king every four years, hence why I call it only nominally democratic. To make it worse the candidates are already predetermined by powerful people who are vaguely known to the population.

This is why Trump got elected, because for all his faults, he is an outsider to this corrupt system, in the opinion of the voting public. I also think most people expected a rerun of the 2016-2020 period, where he spent more time golfing than actually doing something.
