Democracy is all about the illusion of choice. It doesn't matter who you vote for. Nothing changes. New York is still a broken city after 50 years with one party rule. The Dictators give you an illusion of choice within a single party that has the same goals of power over the people. They just change the facemen.
Please explain how this quality differs from any other political system run by humans.
Because when you elect enough politicians that only care about the donor class, you have one party rule that destroys Democracy like New York has had for 50 years.
