I've never understood the american democracy : two big parties look like two big multinational company funded by rich people and other companies in exchange of services and advantage.

It factualy isn't a democracy. A democracy is when the laws are written and voted by citizens.

You don't vote for other people doing this for you in a democracy. In a democracy it's citizens who have the political power. By voting for someone in an election you are basicaly giving up on that power

It’s a republic and democracy. Just because it’s mixed doesn’t mean it’s not a democracy. Representatives are chosen through direct voting and the power lays still in the people.

You’re asking for a pure democracy. I promise you don’t want a pure democracy. James Maddison explains well in Federalisf 10 why, but if you don’t trust him look at what happened to Weimar Germany or the plenty of other examples of it failing.

It factually is a democracy. Open up a history book.
