If the US doesn't have democracy then "negotiation voting" will do nothing either.

That's not really true. Pretty much every system needs some buy-in from the masses. Even a king can be swayed by the threat of a peasant uprising.

Also, saying it's not a democracy isn't the same as saying that votes have no affect on the outcome. The Holy Roman Emperor was elected, but that doesn't mean the empire was a democracy.
