A given country isn’t a democracy when the establishment has close to full control of all important functions in that country, including the media. It is, in fact far from being one. It’s so fake it can possible be. Most people are convinced that there is a democracy if there are a vote and a selection of several political parties to choose from, but that merely is yet another strong indicator of how propagandized they are, not how free they are to choose.
