      You don’t need to cite another country as having a better structure to point out the one you currently live in is broken.

      the systems that currently exist are not the only systems to have ever existed nor are the the only possibilities to choose from. Other options are possible.

      Lastly, nothing about the tone is suggesting this is specific to the US. They are simply describing the US situation. You’re the only one comparing it to the situation of other nations.

      What is unique to the US is their civic religion with the saints of the founding fathers and the reverence of the documents themselves. Most modern countries rewrite their constitutions but the US is stuck with theirs because they worship it.

      Many other governments have a better structure, but that isn’t the point of what I wrote. Maybe the US Americans can write something new that is even incrementally better and it would be a positive. I was born and raised in the US but have left it behind.
