It’s beyond me that any modern democracy would even allow someone be PM/President for 16 years in the first place, and then allow them to run again. For all that’s fucked with America rn, that one they’ve done right (for now).
It’s because you were given the illusion of democracy. It has not been that for a long time. Society can’t move forward till there’s an admission of that.
The gov is owned. The Representatives are owned. They always were, but a piece of paper, the constitution, gave an illusion of governance.
Recent events have just stopped holding up the illusion.
How is denying the right of the people to reelect whoever they want to office more democratic than fulfilling their right?
Claiming democracy restricting such liberty is somehow more democratic is impressive mental gymnastics.
Even with modern democracy the guiding philosophy is to restrict government to promote & protect individual liberty, not undermine liberty of the people.

I actually see it backwards. The proof that bourgeois western democracy is utter shit is that every 4, at most 8 years, the party in government gets hate-voted out of there. If people were actually content with the parties elected, I’d expect to see long periods of dominance by one or two similar parties, followed by some tumbling until the correct one is found again, etc. Having constantly changing parties and candidates kinda proves that everyone fucking hates anything that touches the government, not very democratic IMO.
I guess people have just given up on Russians or what? I rarely hear anyone complain that they’re not doing anything about their madman. They should probably decide to do something before someone decides for them and then they’re not Russians anymore.

Well, only for the presidency. The zombies in congress are entirely unaffected.

Germany has had several chancellors in office for 16 years.
