"disillusion" Does that mean "Not an illusion". I think "illusion" is simple enough.
However, the republicans have been fouling up a lot lately, since Bush has been president.
So, to answer your question... ...NO!

Yes, PLEASE, if you don't like the Democracy the US offers, go find another country that better suits you.
I see very few countries written about on the internet that have the ability to insult their form of government - the very blanket of that "Democracy" is the safety blanket you sleep under every night, and this Democracy gives you the ability to say what you think.
What country offers a better Democracy?

To a certain degree yes. Ultimately money talks. It buys propaganda/advertising. If I were ultimately rich, I could influence the American people by financing TV shows that would advance my ideas, by owning newspapers and making sure that the only my points of view were represented. These things happen every day, not to mention pure corruption.
But, the people still have the power. The wool can be pulled over the eyes of the people, and confuse them, but the ultimate power is still the peoples, and they can reclaim their power at any time they make the effort. No Government governs without at least the passive consent of the people.

So democracy in this country is freeing from false belief or illusions. Yes, I believe that you are correct. But actually I think that you are using big words that you actually don't know the meaning of.

It depends how you define it. It was never meant to be a pure democracy. It is a representative democratic republic. That's how it was structured by the founding fathers.
As far as it being dillusional; it's less dillusional than any other country on the earth!

Go live in Bolivia, Syria, Africa, Haiti and see how
life is; you'll kiss this ground upon your return. We
are the most wonderful country in the whole world.
If you think different, you're just anti-American and
need to leave it for elsewhere where you can be
happier.

well, our only presidential nominees come from one very small society of men. So that could be seen as a "one party system".
(and we laughed at the Communist elections for having only one party to vote for.)
...appears as if there is much illusion in this country.

You mean an illusion? Yeah, probably... and you're probably only asking because you saw or read something that made you disillusioned.
