Of course, I can't help but pay attention to the granddad of this mafia, Prescott Sheldon Bush, whose financial relations with Nazis are still not investigated properly.

All these facts bother a lot of Russian people. They consider that American democracy is in trouble.

I asserted that both the Republican and Democrat parties are essentially the same (here) last election but few replied. I'm not sure why that is relevant on the topic of the OP was asking about or are you implying that A is bad so who cares about B? "USA is no better attitude?' Sounds like a cop-out or excuse-making.

Yes, the U.S. is in trouble (agreed).

It had to sound like a parody. Although it was a joke, every joke is just a fraction of a joke.

I meant if the American media tries to convince all the world that the US is the main democracy, the question of the topic (considering the discussion) sounds weird to me. Because it seems the topic-starter follows the US Media concept, which is wrong, obviously. It's all right only if we admire propaganda.
