      Why did the US suddenly become a part of this discussion?

      The US is absolutely a flawed democracy, no doubt about that. However the people’s vote in the elections does have a real impact on the political decisions of the country.

      The amount of influence the voters have can be debated, but it is far from nothing. Thus the US elections are not purely theaterical, and therefore there is sense in having elections in the US.
