4 is deduced from 1,2,3 the deduction is just using definition and the fact both parties lead to the same outcome to come to a contradiction

Both parties have been elected (1), both led to (2), both aren't representative (3), You can't blame voters if they have no power over the outcome, there's no democracy in US

If the point you're trying to make is that outcome is irrelevant and only voting itself is what constitutes a democracy then this needs to be applied to other countries as well, North Korea is a democracy

Both parties definitely don't lead to the same outcome. One party supports cutting welfare for the poor and the other party doesn't.

The voters absolutely have power over the outcome. They voluntarily chose Trump over Harris in 2024.

North Korea is a one party "democracy". In the United States, you have multiple parties, more than the two that most people voluntarily vote for.
