If someone wants to argue the democracy versus autocracy dichotomy, they should define each term in a way that allows for nuanced evaluations across different countries. I believe their definition must acknowledge the spectrum of democratic qualities, not just categorize systems as purely democratic or autocratic.

From my perspective, countries like Britain and America, often at the forefront of this debate, exhibit weaker democratic traits due to their first-past-the-post electoral systems and the influence of money in politics. Maybe there is a bit of projection going on there!
