And democracy is generally a buzzword if one does not explain what in his/her opinion it covers. Are Democrats democratic ? Is the Us voting system democratic ? You can sense that if you frame the question like that you will have an endless debate that won't get you anywhere. What voting system is in place ? Are parties limited in the money they can get for their campaign ? Is there a independent institution that controls the voting process ? Etc.
Maybe the problem with Trump is not that he is a agent of Russia but the fact that he is an infantile billionaire with the worst industries such as oil and coal behind him. But I don't expect democrats to utter that critique since they are probably not clean either. Here is an idea instead, companies or rich individuals should not be allowed to contribute to a campaign more than a certain amount.
