That's like saying our system "bears a harsh similarity to elections in Russia" because we don't vote on laws, we elect representatives and senators to do it for us. It's not ideal, but neither is it a symptom of autocracy.

I didn't change the meaning or otherwise "edit" what you wrote. I drew an analogy, and that analogy is valid in that in both instances, voters, rather than voting directly for whom/what they want, are having people represent them.

I was Specific about the Electoral College Lex, Not "our (entire) system". Changing the entire meaning of a comment isn't editing.
