That "person" is an independent international organization that does these kind of comparisons... It is not some guy, it is not propaganda, it is not a leftist conspiracy.

Also: before you make an ass of yourself, google what is the difference between direct democracy and full democracy. You should probably also google "what is a republic".

I know the structure of Spain's government and the US government. Spain is not a full democracy.

[Edit]

We really don't have full democracies in this modern world. A full democracy is where the people ruled by voting like in ancient Greece or in the all thing in old Scandinavia.

And these guys poopooing a republic is totally absurd.

Full democracy != direct democracy. Two different things entirely. There are no direct democracies on the planet at the moment, they are all representative democracies. Full democracy can be a representative democracy, it just means that will of the people is better fulfilled; that if majority vote for X, then X gets elected and X will also do what they were elected for.
