The people of the US have the choice to not only elect their parliaments, but also the president. They also elect DAs and Sheriffs in many places. The people of the US have more democratic rights than most other people in countries considered democracies.

The fact that they're having more elections does not mean they have 'more democratic rights'.

I for example fail to see the point of the US mid-term elections. It doesn't make the US system more democratic, just more complex.
