A democracy requires free elections, so no to both.
I don’t think the US is that far gone, though. Some states do care about the democratic process, as the graphic indicates. I don’t think the US has left flawed democracy territory yet, at least not everywhere.
The US’ democracy index is falling, but it’s still comparably high, between France and Italy.
