It is not a spectrum. USA and eu might be. But if someone above you can prevent your from running or electing then it is NOT democracy.
Once you are free to do so then may I say no one promise heaven on earth. It is bad human and good in democracy. Sort it out. It is hard. But it is not the same as other sort it out for you.
