1. A democracy that is not a real democracy, but the illusion of one. 2. A political system with some aspects of democracy, but not a full-fledged one. Examples of this are: totalitarian dictatorships that hold show trials and rigged elections, or countries like the United States that have aspects like the Electoral College as safeguards against a true democracy.
