You’re only able to choose two options, how is that democracy? I thought democracy was about being able to choose anyone you think is suitable to be a leader, not one of two pre-selected people. At that point, it’s not much different to a one-party system, just with two people rather than only one person.
Its formally considered a flawed democracy. I do the same thing with my kids. If i want them to clean their room i’ll just ask them “do you want to clean your room, or you want to do the dishes and take out the trash?” and they’ll always go for cleaning their room because it feels like they are getting something out of the deal, it’s less “nasty” and they have a sense of choice but realistically i win in both scenarios.
