CIS was its successor

Where is this written? Can you give me a direct quote instead of pretending that your interpretation of the documents (which goes against the interpretation by all CIS parties and the United Nations at the time) is correct?

It proclaimed the sovereignty of the Russian SFSR and the intention to establish a democratic constitutional state within a liberalized Soviet Union.

within a liberalized Soviet Union

So they didn't declare "independence" from the USSR like the other republics, thanks for making my point for me.

Of course they declared independence.

So you should be able to show me this alleged declaration of independence, right?

Because of this war, they’ve lost their legitimacy and can no longer credibly lead the world.

According to whom, you?

Because that is not Russia’s seat.

It is.

It’s the Soviet Union’s seat.

And the Russian Federation (formerly the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) is the legal successor to the Soviet Union.

They left the Soviet Union in 1990.

The Russian SFSR never "left" or "declared independence from" the Soviet Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_State_Sovereignty_of_the_Russian_Soviet_Federative_Socialist_Republic

they have a better claim to the UN seat.

The UN disagrees, sorry.

I think the issue is the people in China haven’t experienced the democracy in US

Don't worry, the Americans haven't either.

Did you keep reading to the part about low level satisfaction with local government.

I did, did you? Or are you just skimming the introductory article for something "negative" to comment on?

You're painting a pretty disingenuous picture, the satisfaction levels for local government are lower than for the central government but they're still pretty good:

Do you believe that 75% or more of Americans believe their local representatives are "Knowledgeable", "Kind" or that they feel "Satisfied with [the] Eventual Outcome" of their decisions?

It’s more complicated than you summarise.

I didn't summarize anything, I pasted a direct quote from the article you seem to not have read:

The irony of calling me a troll while at the same time dismissing a study you haven't read to attack my character. Please keep your word and stick to just one low effort reply here, I don't think anyone needs to read you embarrass yourself any further.
