You could have reminded him that there are elements of Democracy in every nation but whether or not it is called a "Democratic Nation" depends upon the level/amount of Democratic principles each nation wields. If you compare the US with Sweden then I wouldn't think of the US as a Democratic Nation but if you compare the US with North Korea then I would. Actually, the US is not internationally considered a full Democracy in any case./—-/ India used to be a democracy, but the new leader is eliminating democratic policies.
