I can't speak for the OP, but I'd say that, yes. The US's spying activity is an overreach (to put it mildly) and I don't agree with the extent or purpose in many cases. We also don't really have a well functioning democracy, in my opinion, due to the capture of the government by private corporations. But what we do have is still a democracy, and it is absolutely lightyears above and beyond the genocidal, anti-liberty government of China.
