US' democracy is only on paper

The Philippines' decision to choose the United States (US) over the People's Republic of China to build its railroad is an excellent example of how US' "democracy" is only an illusion. Please click on the following link for this story: https://youtu.be/FoSjd-ZWMVM

The US' "democracy" can't be real, because it only benefits 3% of its citizens. 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are Americans, while almost 40 million other Americans live in poverty, and 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck. Today, only 35% of Americans are satisfied with their government. That is not enough for the US to claim to be the "champion of democracy"!

Neither is the fact that the US has consistently refused to comply with 43 United Nations' resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico's sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. In the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and almost half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty. And yet, the US again deceptively claims to support Taiwan's inalienable right to self-determination and independence, only because it wants to go to war against the People's Republic of China.

China, on the other hand, eradicated poverty despite having 4 times the US' population, and having 11 trillion dollars less in Gross Domestic Product than the US. That's why over 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their one party communist government.

Democracy must be real to benefit people.
