The US does not represent democracy. And it is ever more clear it is not a democracy, but rather the illusion of one controlled by oligarchs and private interests. There is merely an illusion of choice.
Other than all the places with more functional democracies.
What America is a mediocre democracy with a shitload of money and a relatively large population, and that is what matters. There simply is no other singular nation that could stop, for example, China from conquering Japan.
There are alliances that could, but the overreliance on American power has created an absolutely devastating implementation if America turns outright fascist itself, not even getting into what it means if the two largest nuclear nations become expansionist allies.
That corruption exists in most western democracies. The problem is the dogmatic worship for a 200+ years constitution. Temporary fixes won’t do. You guys need to come together and write a NEW modern and functional constitution.

You have the choice not to vote for literally hitler, mate.
In a one-party dictatorship you also get the option to vote or not vote in the single candidate.
You guys really should wake up from that dream…
Keep going strong. You are not yet in a dictatorship but you will soon be. Good job, and vote Cthulhu, don’t choose the lesser evil.
Ok. And…?
I actually lo-key kinda agree with you, and think it’s ripe for all manner of improvements, but it’s still the best we have.

The US is indeed a mediocre democracy because of the corruptIon of the system that money has enabled.
There are too many business loopholes and carve-outs to realise a fair society.
