Democracy has, of course, degenerated into what is sometimes called “managed democracy.” Theoretically, there remain different parties, elections, a pluralistic society, an independent judiciary, and a market economy.
当然，民主已经退化为有时被人成为“受管理的民主”。从理论上而言还有不同的政党、选举、多元社会、独立司法以及市场经济。但是在实际上，整个体系都受到总统的控制。人民还是被允许选举总统，总统是谁的实际决定已经事先做出了。
